Anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects of genistein in a model of spinal cord injury in rats Open
Background Neurological damage from spinal cord injury (SCI) is a result of primary mechanical injury and secondary damage from oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. Although genistein has been shown to have potent antioxidant and anti-i…
Biological variation and reference change value data for serum copper, zinc and selenium in Turkish adult population Open
Objectives Calculation of biological variation (BV) components is very important in evaluating whether a test result is clinically significant. The aim of this study is to analyze BV components for copper, zinc and selenium in a cohort of …
Assessment of Diastolic Function and Thiol-Disulphide Homeostasis in Arsenic-Exposed Workers. Open
This study showed strong associations among arsenic exposure, oxidative stress, and diastolic function, and revealed the influence of arsenic exposure on diastolic dysfunction through oxidative stress.
Evaluation of Dynamic Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis in Patients with Periodontitis Open
Objective: Thiols are antioxidant organic compounds with sulfhydryl group.Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis is considered a marker of oxidative stress.This study aimed to determine disulphide and thiol levels in patients with generalise…
