In the present study we explored glutathione S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms in selected patients who experienced accelerated myocardial injury following open heart surgery and compared these to a control group of patients without postoperative complications. 758 Patients were enrolled from which
BACKGROUND
The n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, which are present in fish, are protective against myocardial infarction. However, fish also contains methylmercury, which influences the risk of myocardial infarction, possibly by generating oxidative
OBJECTIVE
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays a key role in the detoxification of xenobiotic atherogens generated by smoking. We investigated whether functional GST gene polymorphism might be associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and smoking. No such investigation has previously been
OBJECTIVE
Selenium (Se) is part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) that plays an important role in the antioxidant defence of the body, including the myocardium, against the deleterious actions of free radicals and lipid peroxides. In order to evaluate the Se status and the GSH-Px
This study is aimed at checking whether treatment with glutathione (GL) and captopril (CA) before thrombolysis can further improve the protective effects of ACE-inhibitors in cases with anterior acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Ninety-eight double blind randomized patients (86 men and 12 women)
Glutathione peroxidase 1 (GPX-1) has an important role in antioxidant defense and has been suggested to have a protective role against the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In the present study, erythrocytic GPX-1 activity from 42 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 285 healthy control
OBJECTIVE
Glutathione (GSH) has a central role in the defence against oxidative damage. This study was carried out to investigate any change in erythrocyte GSH levels in a population of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and compare them with levels in normal healthy
We previously reported that tissue damage during brain infarction was mainly caused by inactivation of proteins by acrolein. This time, it was tested why brain infarction increases in parallel with aging. A mouse model of photochemically induced thrombosis (PIT) was studied using 2, 6, and 12
Timely recanalization of infarct related artery along with effective myocardial cell reperfusion represents a major challenge in the management of STEMI. The reperfusion of coronary arteries can induce further cardiomyocyte death by generating oxidative stress, which itself can mediate myocardial
Although experimental studies have demonstrated that reduced glutathione (GSH) is involved in cellular protection from deleterious effects of oxygen free radicals (OFRs) in ischemia and reperfusion, there are controversial data on the correlation between the levels of erythrocyte GSH and the
Administration of highly dispersed copper powder in a dose 0.2 mg/kg three days before modelled coronary-occlusion myocardial infarction caused transitory increase in activity of antioxidant enzymes--superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in the necrotic zone of myocardium of rats, and also
Effects of dinitrosyl iron complex with reduced glutathione (DNIC-GS) on hemodynamics, metabolic state of the heart and myocardial infarction size were studied in vivo in rats subjected to 40-min occlusion of the anterior descending coronary artery (ADCA) and subsequent 60-min reperfusion.
Myocardial infarction (MI), which is the most important manifestation of coronary artery disease, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Glutathione S transferases (GSTs) are enzymes responsible for the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics and are known to be polymorphic in
BACKGROUND
Aim of the study was to determine the concentration of selenium (Se) and the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to observe the behavior of these parameters during thrombolysis therapy.
METHODS
The study comprised two groups
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the role of oxidative stress in left ventricular function after acute myocardial infarction.
METHODS
We studied 41 patients with acute myocardial infarction (30 men and 11 women, mean age 61.7 +/- 11.6 years) with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction grade 3 recanalization
