G. Ozdemirler et al., PEROXIDATION POTENTIAL AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF SERUM IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES-MELLITUS AND MYOCARD INFARCTION, Hormone and Metabolic Research, 27(4), 1995, pp. 194-196
Endogen malondialdehyde (MDA), diene conjugate levels, the susceptibil
ity to copper-induced lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of s
erum were determined in patients with atherosclerotic diseases such as
diabetes mellitus and myocard infarction. Lipid peroxidation suscepti
bility and antioxidant activity did not change, however, an increase i
n endogen MDA and diene conjugate levels was observed in serum of thes
e patients, These results indicate the presence of oxidative stress in
diabetes mellitus and myocard infarction.
