Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is recognized as the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world, and there is a consensus on its role in the etiology of preneoplastic epithelial changes in the cervix.

Moreover, the level of physical activity can exert an influence on markers of oxidative stress, lowering the serum levels of these markers.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the relationship between oxidative stress markers, HPV infection, and cervical cancer precursor lesions in women aged 14 to 60 living in Amazon communities in Pará, Brazil.* -
  • Results showed that malondialdehyde levels were significantly higher in HPV-positive women in Itaituba, while differences in total glutathione levels were noted only in Bragança.* -
  • Overall, while some oxidative stress markers were linked to HPV infection, the lack of correlation with squamous lesions suggests that other factors might contribute to cervical cancer development.*
