Article Synopsis
- The study explores the relationship between total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and advanced oxidized protein products (AOPP) levels in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) undergoing radiotherapy, focusing on the development of oral mucositis (OM).
- Researchers measured these biomarkers at various points during treatment and categorized patients into severe and non-severe OM groups to observe changes over time.
- Findings indicate that while T-AOC and GSH-PX levels temporarily increased during treatment, they decreased significantly in severe OM patients, alongside consistently rising AOPP levels, with certain risk factors identified as contributing to the severity of OM.
