Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how low thyroid hormone levels affect the oxidation/reduction balance, focusing on antioxidant enzyme activity, vitamin levels, and TBARS concentration.
  • 20 Belgian giant rabbits underwent induced hypothyroidism to track changes in various blood parameters before and after treatment with thiamizole.
  • Results showed a significant decrease in TBARS and a reduction in the activity of antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px, with no major changes in vitamin levels, indicating that hypothyroidism affects oxidative stress management in erythrocytes.

The Aim Of The Study: To estimate the influence of anthocyanins from Aronia melanocarpa on blood pressure, concentration of endothelin-1 (ET-1), serum lipids, fasting glucose, uric acid and membrane cholesterol in erythrocytes of patients (pts) with metabolic syndrome (MS).

Material And Methods: The study comprised 22 healthy volunteers and 25 pts with MS treated with anthocyanins (3 x 100 mg/d) for 2 months. Waist circumference (> or = 80 cm for women and > or =94 cm for men), triglicerydes (TG) level >150 mg/dl (1.

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism induces the acceleration of the basic metabolism and increases cellular oxygen utilization, consequently intensifies reactive oxygen species production and disturbs the oxidant-antioxidant balance.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the selected oxidative stress parameters in patients with hyperthyroidism by analysis of the reactive oxygen species neutralizing enzymes activity--superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) and catalase (CAT), the estimation of free radical processes intensity--concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), sulfhydryl groups (SH) in proteins and by quantification of the serum total antioxidant status (TAS).

Patients And Method: .
