Evaluation of oxidative stress and antioxidant parameters in children with carbon monoxide poisoning.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to investigate oxidative stress and antioxidant parameter levels in patients with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

Methods: The study was conducted prospectively between March 1, 2015 and April 30, 2016 in the pediatric emergency department. Eligible patients included children aged 0-18 years old with a diagnosis of CO poisoning.

Pharmacological and Toxicological Properties of Eugenol.

Eugenol is a volatile phenolic constituent of clove essential oil obtained from buds and leaves. It is a functional ingredient of numerous products which have been used in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industry in restricted concentrations. Its derivatives have been used in medicine as a local antiseptic and anesthetic.

Cofactor metals and antioxidant enzymes in cisplatin-treated rats: effect of antioxidant intervention.

We explored the association between the activities of antioxidant enzymes and their metallic cofactors in rats treated with cisplatin. The antioxidant effects of aminoguanidine, and a combination of vitamins E and C were investigated. Plasma platin was significantly lower than liver and kidney.

Effect of bleaching on mercury release from amalgam fillings and antioxidant enzyme activities: a pilot study.

Objective: The aim of this pilot clinical study was to determine the mercury release from amalgam fillings and antioxidant enzyme activities (Superoxide Dismutase [SOD] and Catalase[CAT] ) in body fluids after exposure to two different vital tooth bleaching systems.

Material And Methods: Twenty eight subjects with an average age of 25.6 years (18-41) having at least two but not more than four Class II amalgam fillings on each quadrant arch in the mouth participated in the study.

Oxidative protein damage with carbonyl levels and nitrotyrosine expression after chemotherapy in bone marrow transplantation patients.

Protein oxidation is defined as the covalent modification ofa protein, induced either directly by reactive oxygen species/reactive nitrogen species or indirectly by reaction with secondary by-products of oxidative stress. Protein carbonyls are the most commonly measured products of protein oxidation. Additionally, nitrotyrosine is a product of tyrosine nitration mediated by reactive nitrogen species such as peroxynitrite anion and nitrogen dioxide.
