antioxidant/fever

BACKGROUND The objective of the investigation was to explore in a prospective study the associations between dietary intake of fatty acids, antioxidants and hay fever manifestation in adulthood. METHODS Three hundred and thirty-four hay fever cases with adult onset of clinical symptoms from the

Studies covered changes in serum vitamin antioxidant content in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome male workers, in accordance with occupational activity type. Findings are that during the disease and convalescence period the drivers examined demonstrated reliably lower levels of

The psychostimulants, morphine and methamphetamine are well known drugs of abuse that induce brain pathology and/or neurodegeneration resulting in a huge burden on our society. The possible mechanisms of psychostimulants induced neuropathology and neurodegeneration are still not well known. The

Experiments on rats showed that complete Freund's adjuvant-induced low-grade fever and pyrogenal-induced fever of different duration are accompanied by an increase in the content of lipid peroxidation products and components of the antioxidant system not only in blood plasma, but also in the central

Nanoparticles from the environment or through industrial sources can induce profound alterations in human health, often leading to brain dysfunction. However, it is still unclear whether nanoparticle intoxication could also alter the physiological or pathological responses of additional brain

OBJECTIVE Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory, autosomal recessive, inherited disease characterized by recurrent self-limiting attacks of serosal surfaces. The imbalance of oxidants/antioxidants may play a role in such attacks. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the

Aim of study consists of establishing of some clinical-biological correlates for rheumatic fever (RF) in children, namely correlations between clinical status and lipoperoxidation products -- malonidialdehide (MDA) and antioxidative enzymes in the blood. In the neutralization process of superoxside

The possibility that chronic exposure of nanoparticles may alter stress reaction and brain pathology following hyperthermia was examined in a rat model. Engineered nanoparticles from Ag or Cu (approximately equal to 50-60 nm) were administered (30 mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 1 week in young male

Previous reports from our laboratory show that animals treated with engineered nanoparticles derived from metals for 1 week and subjected to hyperthermia showed enhanced neurotoxicity in terms of blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, brain edema formation and cell injury. It appears that

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of periodontal status on oxidant/antioxidant status in patients with chronic periodontitis (CP) who experienced familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and their response to non-surgical periodontal therapy. METHODS Data were obtained from 13

Hydroxyl radicals (.OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2.-) are known to play cardinal roles in cell killing and various types of cell damage. In order to elucidate the mechanism of the involvement of both free radicals on apoptosis, the correlation between anti-apoptotic effects and free radical

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of oxidant stress in the clinical process and pathogenesis of acute rheumatic fever (ARF). METHODS The study included 33 children with ARF and 20 healthy control subjects. The diagnosis of ARF was established according to the Jones

Homogenates of semitendinosus muscle from malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible pigs produced threefold more pentane than those from MH-resistant pigs, indicating enhanced free radical-mediated peroxidation of n-6 fatty acids. This did not reflect a deficiency in tissue antioxidants or

During an outbreak of dengue fever in 1996, 66 children between 45 days and 12 years of age with dengue fever and 25 healthy controls were studied for antioxidants and other biochemical abnormalities. As per World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, 14 children were classified as having classical

A multi-centred study was designed to collect dengue epidemiologic data from government and registered private hospitals/clinics and maintained archive of frozen specimens in bio-bank to be used for future dengue epidemic control program, and assess the epidemiology of dengue fever (DF) by
