Plasma vitamin E and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations were estimated in a group of 25 patients (17 males and 8 females) with head and neck cancer and the results were compared with a group of normal healthy controls. Plasma vitamin E levels were found to be significantly reduced while MDA levels were increased in patients than the controls. The fall in vitamin E was nearly same in all the patients studied irrespective of the site, TNM stage, histopathology and character of lesion. The levels did not vary immediately after radiotherapy but were significantly increased 3 months after the radiotherapy. These preliminary data suggest that the cancer patients have suboptimal vitamin E status which may be a contributory factor for increased lipid peroxidation in such cases. 相似文献

The concentration of serum lipid peroxides, tocopherol and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity was measured in 75 patients
(43 males and 32 females) of different respiratory diseases aged 15–40 years. The results were compared with the values obtained
from 100 healthy persons of comparabie age. The patients of respiratory diseases showed elevated levels of lipid peroxides
with concomitant reduction of tocopherol and glutathione peroxidase activity. When these patients were categorised into different
groups depending on the type of the disease like pulmonary tuberculosis (PT), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
pulmonary tuberculosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (PT and COPD) and suppurative lung disease (SLD). There was
no significant difference between the groups. A significant inverse relation was found between lipid peroxides versus tocopherol
and glutathione peroxidase activity in patients of respiratory diseases. The results suggest the involvement of lipid peroxidation
process in pulmonary damage. 相似文献

Serum glycoproteins were evaluated in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy and also the effect
of vitamin E was studied. Cell surface glycoconjugates are important parameters in the detection of malignancy. Thus, the
objective of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of vitamin E on glycoproteins in oral cavity cancer patients treated
with radiotherapy. The study includes 26 age and sex matched normal healthy individuals and 26 patients with squamous cell
carcinoma of oral cavity. These patients were divided into two groups, one for radiotherapy alone (at a dosage of 6000 cGy
in five fractions per week for a period of six weeks) and the other for radiotherapy plus vitamin E supplementation (at a
dosage of 400 IU / day of vitamin E) for the entire period of radiotherapy. Levels of hexose, hexosamine, fucose and sialic
acid were increased in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients and a significant decrease was observed in radiation treated
patients when compared to control. The levels of glycoconjugates were significantly decreased in radiation treated patients
supplemented with vitamin E. This measurement may be useful in assessing disease progression and identifying patients resistant
to therapy and a possible role of vitamin E on reduction in glycoconjugate levels of radiation treated oral squamous cell
carcinoma patients. 相似文献

Serum Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) activity was studied in 20 control cases and 32 patients with carcinoma breast. In control group the ADA activity ranged from 13–94 IU/L with a mean of 43.75±21.55 IU/L while in patients of carcinoma breast it was 16–95 IU/L with a mean of 47.46±22.54 IU/L, but these values were not statistically different. The ADA activity was also compared with other parameters in patients of carcinoma breast but the difference was not statistically significant in the various parameters like duration of disease, menopausal status, tumor size, hemoglobin level, total leucocyte count, absolute lymphocyte count, total serum proteins, serum albumin, histological grade of tumor and lymphocytic infiltration. The only significant difference in ADA activity was when N1 status of lymph node was compared with N2 status of lymph node. 相似文献

Hemodialysis represents a chronic stress status for its recipients. Many hypotheses state that this may be associated with
oxidative stress. Thus, there may be deficiency of antioxidants like erythrocytic superoxide dismutase, catalase, vitamin
E or increased generation of free radicals like superoxide anions. A study was carried out to investigate oxidant and antioxidant
status in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis and effect of vitamin E supplementation on these two status.
Blood samples were collected from patients before and after hemodialysis and from controls. The samples were analyzed for
quantitation of MDA as index of lipid peroxide, nitric oxide, vitamin E, vitamin C and enzymatic antioxidants namely erythrocyte
SOD and catalase. As compared to controls, the levels of serum MDA were significantly increased and activities of erythrocyte
SOD and catalase, levels of serum nitric oxide, serum vitamin E and plasma vitamin C were significantly decreased both before
and after hemodialysis. The efficiency of vitamin E therapy in hemodialysis patients was assessed by re-evaluating oxidant
and antioxidant status of same patients after supplementation of vitamin E. Vitamin E supplementation caused decrease in serum
MDA and increase in levels of serum nitric oxide, vitamin E, vitamin C and activities of erythrocytic SOD and catalase. Our
results suggest the presence of oxidative stress and the possible preventive role of vitamin E therapy in hemodialysis patients. 相似文献

There is ample evidence that vitamin status of an individual can have a profound influence on the resistance of Cancer. Pyridoxine
is one of the water soluble vitamins playing an important role in various metabolic reactions. Aspartate aminotransferase
and Alanine aminotransferase are pyridoxal phosphate requiring enzymes and their activities in erythrocytes have been used
to assess the state of vitamin B6 nutrition in man.
We report here the erythrocyte transaminase levels in controls and patients with early and advanced cancer of breast. Thein vitro study of vitamin B6 shows a marked difference in the per cent stimulation in patients as compared to the controls on addition of pyridoxal phosphate.
The difference indicates a subclinical deficiency of vitamin B6. The possibility exists that the rapid progression of the disease could be due to lack of host resistance caused by the deficiency
of vitamin B6. The possibility of an effective treatment response after enhancing the vitamin B6 status is being looked into. 相似文献

Osteoporosis encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions associated with imbalance of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities.
The increased activity of osteoclasts leads to increased free radical formation and hence lipid peroxidation. Present study
probes into the role of antioxidants as a palliative treatment for osteoporosis. It involved 50 healthy controls and 75 clinically
diagnosed osteoporosis patients. Both the groups underwent baseline assessment of biochemical markers viz. osteoblastic markers:
serum Alkaline phosphatase. Free or ionic calcium and Inorganic phosphorus, osteoclastic markers: serum Tartarate resistant
acid phosphatase and Malondialdehyde and the antioxidant status: serum Superoxide dismutase and Erythrocyte reduced glutathione.
The osteoporotic group was then divided into groups A (Vitamin E-Evinal 400 mg), B (Vitamin C-Celin 500 mg), C (Vitamin E+C-Evinal+Celin)
for antioxidant supplementation for a period of 90 days. The results reveal that there is significant fall in concentration
of serum MDA (p<0.001), TrACP (p<0.01). Improvement in antioxidant status is reflected by significant rise in concentration
of serum SOD (p<0.001) and erythrocyte GSH (p<0.001) after 90 days of antioxidant supplementation in osteoporosis. The findings
indicate that on the whole bone status improved with prolonged antioxidant vitamin supplementation, which can be used as a
palliative treatment for osteoporosis. The efficacy is not affected whether the vitamins are administered singly or conjointly. 相似文献

Pancreatic fibrosis is a key pathological feature in the etiology of chronic pancreatitis that leads to obliteration of exocrine
and endocrine pancreatic tissues and its replacement by fibrous tissue resulting in clinical manifestations. Matrix metalloproteinase
9 is a member of the MMP family that is also known as gelatinase B, degrades type IV collagen of extracellular matrix and
basal membrane. The present study is aimed at evaluating the clinical significance of plasma concentration of MMP-9 in chronic
pancreatitis. The samples were obtained from 112 chronic pancreatitis patients and an equal number of age and sex matched
healthy controls. MMP-9 levels were quantitatively measured by ELISA assay. Statistical analysis was applied to test the significance
of results. The present study revealed a significant increase of plasma MMP 9 levels in chronic pancreatitis patients compared
to control subjects. Elevated levels were also observed in all the patient groups compared to control subjects with regard
to sex, age, addictions etc. MMP-9 degrades the type IV collagens in normal basement membrane, which in turn activates the
pancreatic stellate cells which promote the development of pancreatitic fibrosis. Thus, elevated plasma levels of MMP-9 may
act as a susceptibility factor for the development of chronic pancreatitis. 相似文献

Effect of administration of 600 mg. vitamin E each day, for six days, was observed on activity of some of the anti-oxidant
enzymes and levels of malondialdehyde (as an index of free radical mediated damage) in the platelets of patients reperfused
after myocardial infarction. It has been found that vitamin E administration significantly lowers the level of malondialdehyde
in the patients. Vitamin E administration increases the activities of anti oxidant enzymes (viz. superoxide dismutase, glutathione
reductase and catalase) tested both in the patients and healthy controls. Vitamin E administration causes general stimulation
of anti-oxidant enzyme activities both in healthy persons and the patients, however, lowering of lipid per-oxidation upon
administration of vitamin E is specific for patients. These findings exhibit beneficial role of vitamin E administration in
the management of the patients reperfused after myocardial infarction. 相似文献

In view of sufficient body of evidence to substantiate the role of free radical mediated oxidative injury in myocardial infarction
(M.I.), the utility of exogenous supplementation with antioxidant substance, vitamin E was studied. Forty patients of acute
myocardial infarction were divided into two equal groups, one who received vitamin E and the other who did not. Plasma MDA
levels showed a reduction in patients of M.I. who received vitamin E as well as in those who did not, however, the decrease
was significantly more in the vitamin E treated subgroup. 相似文献

Circulating levels of gonadotropins (FSH,LH), prolactin (PRL), estradiol and progesterone were measured by radioimmunoassay
in the sera of 60 patients with histopathologically proven breast cancer. 30 patients belonged to the post and 30 to the premenopausal
group. 30 healthy women, 15 each in the pre and post menopausal groups served as controls for the study.
Prolactin was elevated in 33% and 26% of pre and post menopausal breast cancer patients respectively. Lower levels of estradiol
and progesterone were observed during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in premenopausal breast cancer patients. Among
postmenopausal patients with breast cancer, LH was elevated in 32%, FSH in 15% and estradiol in 30% of the patients studied. 相似文献

Glutathione-5-transferase (GST) and glutathione (GSH) levels were estimated in the lungs of 3 and 30 months old rats. GST activity was found to be significantly reduced in the old rats (30 months age) compared to the young rats (3 months age). In old rats, with methionine supplementation GST activity was increased whereas with vitamin C supplementation GSH levels were increased. The data show that the supplementation of methionine as well as of vitamin C have beneficial effect on the scavenging system and protect lungs against the free radical damage during ageing. 相似文献

The oxidative modification of lipoprotein especially low density lipoprotein (LDL) plays a key role in the initiation and
progression of atherosclerosis. Serum apolipoproteinB (apoB) level is found to be an important marker for atherosclerosis.
The present paper focuses on the measurement of serum apoB levels and the effect of Vitamin E, Vitamin C and reduced glutathione
on the copper ion induced oxidation of LDL + VLDL (VLDL-Very Low Density Lipoprotein) lipoprotein fraction isolated from the
serum of chronic renal failure (CRF) and renal transplanted patients. The level of apoB is significantly higher in the serum
of transplanted patients when compared to CRF patients and normal subjects. The level of TBARS formed in oxidized LDL + VLDL
lipoprotein fraction of CRF and renal transplanted patients are significantly increased than normal even in the presence of
antioxidants but the level of TBARS produced, with antioxidants is comparatively lesser than that produced by oxidized lipoprotein
fraction without antioxidants. It may be concluded than that produced by oxidized lipoprotein fraction without antioxidants.
It may be concluded that oxidation of LDL can be prevented at an earlier stage by Vitamin E supplementation. The supplementation
with Glutathione serves as the best method of preventing the lipoprotein oxidation among the renal diseased patients. 相似文献

Oxidative stress has been proposed as a common underlying mechanism of cataractogenesis. Experimental and observational data
suggest that micronutrients like vitamin C and vitamin E with antioxidant capabilities may retard the development of age-related
cataract. Effect of these factors on lens epithelium cells, center of lens metabolic activities, is not completely elucidated.
The aim of present study was to examine the effect of vitamin C and E on surgically removed lens epithelium cells of patients
with cataract. Capsulorhexis samples were collected from 170 patients, admitted for cataract surgery. Catalase specific activity
was estimated in lens epithelium cells with and without vitamin (C or E) treatment at different concentration for different
time duration. Student’s t-test was employed for data analysis. We observed that in ex-vivo condition, a) both vitamin C and
E bring about a decrease in catalase activity in lens epithelial cells. b) vitamin C showed toxic effect at high concentration.
c) 100μM was the optimum concentration at which both vitamins showed maximum antioxidant activity. It was concluded that both
vitamin C and E has direct effect on lens epithelium cells. At optimum concentration, they can reduce oxidative stress in
these cells thus can support to prevent or delay cataract development. 相似文献

Platelets play important role in precipitating ischaemic myocardial syndromes in many ways. One of the consequences of ischaemic
diseases is excessive generation of oxygen derived free radicals that have numerous pathophysiological consequences. Platelet
pro-oxidant enzyme, xanthine oxidase is one of the sources of generation of free radicals. In the present paper, we report
the effect of administration of vitamin E along with aspirin on the levels of platelet xanthine oxidase and extent of free
radical mediated damage in the patients reperfused after myocardial infarction.
Our findings show that administration of 400 mg. vitamin E for six days along with 80 mg. aspirin has an excellent anti-oxidant
effect as evidenced by reduced platelet xanthine oxidase activity and lowering of malondialdehdye (MDA) levels which is an
index of the extent of free radical mediated damage. 相似文献

Introduction
Centrifugation is an essential step for plasma preparation to remove residual elements in plasma, especially platelets and platelet-derived microparticles (PMPs). Our working hypothesis was that centrifugation as a preanalytical step may influence some coagulation parameters.Materials and methods
Healthy young men were recruited (N = 17). For centrifugation, two protocols were applied: (A) the first centrifugation at 2500 x g for 15 min and (B) at 2500 x g for 20 min at room temperature with a light brake. In protocol (A), the second centrifugation was carried out at 2500 x g for 15 min, whereas in protocol (B), the second centrifugation involved a 10 min spin at 13,000 x g. Thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) and plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) complexes concentrations were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. PMPs were stained with CD41 antibody and annexin V, and analyzed by flow cytometry method. Procoagulant activity was assayed by the Calibrated Automated Thrombogram method as a slope of thrombin formation (CAT velocity).Results
Median TAT and PAP concentrations did not differ between the centrifugation protocols. The high speed centrifugation reduced the median (IQR) PMP count in plasma from 1291 (841-1975) to 573 (391-1010) PMP/µL (P = 0.001), and CAT velocity from 2.01 (1.31-2.88) to 0.97 (0.82-1.73) nM/min (P = 0.049). Spearman’s rank correlation analysis showed correlation between TAT and PMPs in the protocol A plasma which was (rho = 0.52, P < 0.050) and between PMPs and CAT for protocol A (rho = 0.74, P < 0.050) and protocol B (rho = 0.78, P < 0.050).Conclusion
Centrifugation protocols do not influence the markers of plasminogen (PAP) and thrombin (TAT) generation but they do affect the PMP count and procoagulant activity.Key words: cell-derived microparticles, blood coagulation tests, centrifugation, preanalytical phase 相似文献20.

This study was carried out to see the effect of the aqueous extract ofOcitum sanctum Linn (Tulsi) with Vitamin E on biochemical parameters and retinopathy in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino male
rats. Adult albino male rats weighing 150–200 gm were made diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in the
dose 60 mg/kg in citrate buffer (pH 6.3). The diabetic animals were left for one month to develop retinopathy. Biochemical
parameters like plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance and glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1c, were measured along with lipid profile, and enzymes like glutathione peroxidase (GPX), lipid peroxidase (LPO), superoxide
dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in normal, untreated diabetic rats and diabetic rats treated
withOcimum sanctum L extracts and vitamin E. Fluorescein angiography test was done for assessing retinopathy. Results on biochemical parameters
were analyzed statistically by using ANOVA followed by Dunnet's ‘t’-test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as significant.
Evaluation of biochemical profile in treated groups showed statistically significant reduction in plasma levels of glucose,
HbA1c, lipid profile and LPO, and elevation of GPX, SOD, CAT and GST. Treatment of the diabetic animals withOcimum sanctum and Vitamin E, alone and in combination for 16 weeks showed reversal of most of the parameters studied including plasma glucose
levels. Angiography showed improvement in retinal changes following combined antidiabetic treatment. 相似文献
