Melatonin ameliorates oxidative damage in hyperglycemia-induced liver injury
(Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2012)Purpose: Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine) is synthesized mainly by the pineal gland and its antioxidant properties have been demonstrated both in short and long term studies. Our aim was to clarify the effects of ... -
Impact of Smoking on p65 Nuclear Factor kappa B, p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase, and Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Expression Levels in Oral Mucosa
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2012)Objectives: Smoking plays an important role in oral cancer development; however, the molecular carcinogenesis mechanism in oral mucosa is not well understood. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the levels of ... -
The effect of chronic long-term intermittent hypobaric hypoxia on bone mineral density in rats: Role of nitric oxide
(2013)Intermittent hypoxia is the most common pattern of hypoxic exposure in humans. The effect of chronic long-term intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (CLTIHH) on bone metabolism is not investigated. We examined the effect of CLTIHH ... -
The role of pentraxin 3 as diagnostic value in classification of patients with heart failure
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013)Objective: Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a new inflammatory marker that is the prototype of the long pentraxin group, while C-reactive protein (CRP) is the short pentraxin group. The aim of the present study was to investigate the ... -
Total antioxidant status and markers of oxidative stress in subjects with normal or impaired glucose regulation (IFG, IGT) in diabetic patients
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013)Background. We investigated the ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), prooxidants - antioxidants balance (PAB), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) concentrations in patients ... -
Evaluation of Serum Paraoxonase and Arylesterase Activities in Subjects with Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
(Clin Lab Publ, 2013)Background: Asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) are characterised by airway inflammation. Paraoxonase1 (PON1) and arylesterase (AE) enzymes have the ability to protect HDL from oxidation and may have ... -
The Relationship between Ischemia Modified Albumin and Oxidative Stress Parameters in Patients with Cardiac Syndrome X
(Clin Lab Publ, 2013)Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of ischemia modified albumin and oxidative stress parameters in patients with cardiac syndrome X. Methods: A total of 61 patients, composed of 32 ... -
The association of oxidative stress markers with conventional risk factors in the metabolic syndrome
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2013)Background and Aims. The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a common and complex disorder that consists of various abnormalities, including dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension and hyperglycemia. We investigated the relationships ... -
Oxidative damage parameters in renal tissues of aged and young rats based on gender
(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2013)Purpose: Aging is characterized by a gradual functional decrease of all systems including the kidneys. Growing evidence links altered lipid protein redox-homeostasis with renal dysfunction. The effect of sexual dimorphism ... -
The role of feed regulating peptides on weight loss in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2013)Purpose: Malnutrition is a prominent feature of tuberculosis (TB). The aim of our study was to explore the function of plasma regulatory proteins in pulmonary TB and to investigate the relationship between these parameters ... -
Serum Thymidine Kinase 1 Activity in Solid Tumor (Breast and Colorectal Cancer) Patients Treated With Adjuvant Chemotherapy
(Wiley, 2013)BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the changing of TK1 (where TK is thymidine kinase) activity before and after adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast and colorectal cancer. MethodsThe study included ... -
Estrogen alleviates acetic acid-induced gastric or colonic damage via both ER?- and ER?-mediated and direct antioxidant mechanisms in rats
(Springer New York LLC, 2014)In order to demonstrate the possible protective effects of estrogen receptor (ER)-? and ER? receptor subtypes in the pathogenesis of colonic and gastric oxidant damage, experimental ulcer and colitis were induced by acetic ... -
Pomegranate extract: a potential protector against aminoglycoside ototoxicity
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2014)Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of pomegranate extract as protection against aminoglycoside ototoxicity. Design: Prospective, randomised, controlled, experimental study. Subjects: Eighteen Wistar albino rats ... -
Comparison of maternal and umbilical cord blood soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 levels in early-and late-onset preeclampsia
