Background: Cigarette smoke free radicals can cause cellular damage and different diseases. All the body fluids have antioxidants which protect against free radicals. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate salivary total antioxidant capacity and peroxidase, uric acid and malondialdehyde levels in smokers and a nonsmoking control group. Methods: Unstimulated saliva was collected from 510 males. A total of 259 subjects were current smokers and 251 were non-smokers. The levels of salivary total antioxidant capacity, uric acid, peroxidase and malondialdehyde were measured using standard procedures. Data were analyzed with t test and ANOVA. Results: The smokers were younger and dental hygiene index was higher than healthy nonsmoking controls. The mean total antioxidant capacity in smokers and nonsmokers was 0.13±0.07 and 0.21±011, respectively (P=0.001). Smokers had significantly lower peroxidase and uric acid levels than healthy controls. In addition, the mean malondialdehyde levels in the smokers and nonsmokers were 4.55 ±2.61 and 2.79 ±2.21, respectively (P=0.001). Conclusion: Cigarette smoke produces free radical and oxidative stress, causing many side effects. Salivary antioxidant levels decreased and malondialdehyde levels increased in smokers, indicating the high oxidative stress among smokers compared to nonsmokers. Cigarette smoke had deleterious effects on main salivary antioxidants levels.

AbstractIntroduction:The study aimed at evaluating oxidative stress using malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) markers in sheep naturally infected withPsoroptes ovis(Acari).Material and Methods:The study was performed on 40 sheep divided into two equal groups: a healthy group (group I) and a group naturally infected withPsoroptes ovis(group II). The sera were obtained by centrifuging blood samples collected from the vena jugularis and serum MDA level changes in the samples were measured spectrophotometrically. Commercially available test kits were used for the measurement of TAC and TOS levels. The percentage ratio of TOS level to TAC level was accepted as OSI.Results:The serum malondialdehyde, total oxidant status levels, and oxidative stress index increased significantly (P < 0.01) in group II, while the serum total antioxidant capacity levels decreased significantly (P < 0.01) in this group. Negative correlations between total antioxidant capacity and total oxidant status and total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde, and a positive correlation between total oxidant status and malondialdehyde were found in infected sheep.Conclusion:The obtained results indicated the relationship between oxidant/antioxidant imbalance andPsoroptes ovisinfection in sheep. Their MDA, TAC, TOS, and OSI markers may be used to determine the oxidative stress in natural infections withPsoroptes ovis.

Summary Background: The relationship between haptoglobin polymorphism and oxidative stress in hemodialysis patients is not fully understood. In this study, total antioxidant capacity and ce ru - loplasmin ferroxidase activity were evaluated in relation to haptoglobin phenotype distribution in hemodialysis patients. Methods: Serum samples collected from 161 patients and 84 healthy controls were haptoglobin-typed by electrophoresis. Ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity and total antioxidant capacity were assayed using colorimetric methods. Results: Irrespective of the haptoglobin phenotype, patients exhibited significantly lower total antioxidant capacity (1.42± 0.29 vs. 1.55±0.28 mmol/L, P=0.002) and higher ferroxidase activity than controls. Frequency of Hp1-1 and Hp2-1 in patients was 15.5% and 36% as compared with 9.5% and 41.7% in controls. While ferroxidase activity was lower in Hp2-2 patients than in controls (142±61 vs. 179±47 U/L, P=0.002), it was higher in Hp2-1 (173±56 U/L) and Hp1-1 (170±54 U/L) patients than in controls (141±43 and 99±30 U/L respectively) (P=0.002 and 0.009). Ferroxidase activity in Hp2-2 patients was significantly lower than that of Hp2-1 or Hp1-1 patients (P=0.004 and 0.034). Total antioxidant capacity was significantly lower only in Hp2-2 patients (1.44±0.25) compared to that in Hp2-2 controls (1.65±0.22) (P=0.000). Conclusions:These findings suggest that haptoglobin polymorphism can differentially impact oxidative stress levels in hemodialysis patients.

Background and aims. Periodontitis is a common chronic adult condition that implicates oxidative damage to gingival tissue, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. This study aimed at  assessing the association between the nitro-oxidative stress and the periodontal tissues destructions in experimental rat periodontitis.Methods. Periodontitis was induced in 15 male albino rats by repetitive lesions to the gingiva adjacent to the inferior incisors, performed daily, for 16 days. On D1, D3, D6, D8, and D16 the onset and evolution of periodontitis were monitored by clinical and histopathological examinations; blood was collected and serum nitro-oxidative stress was evaluated through total nitrites and nitrates, total oxidative status, total antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress index.Results. The results demonstrated that there was a graded and continuous increase in serum levels of total nitrites and nitrates, total oxidative status and oxidative stress index, which was consistent with the severity of periodontal destructions during periodontitis progression. However, total antioxidant capacity was not significantly influenced by the disease progression.Conclusions. In experimental rat periodontitis, the systemic nitro-oxidative stress was associated with the severity of periodontal destructions assessed clinically and histopathologically. Therefore, systemic nitro-oxidative stress parameters might be used as diagnostic tools in periodontitis.

Background: The aging process is accompanied by low secretion of sex hormones and testicular apoptosis. The antioxidant properties of thymoquinone (TQ) may prevent the effects of aging. Therefore, in the present study, the effects of different doses of TQ were investigated on sperm parameters, testosterone level, apoptosis, and oxidative stress in a mouse model of D-galactose-induced aging. Methods: In this experimental study, 30 adult male mice were randomly divided into 5 groups. The control group did not receive any injections, while the D-galactose group received an intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg of D-galactose for 42 days. The TQ1-TQ3 groups received intraperitoneal injections of 5, 2.5, and 1.25 mg/kg of TQ plus D-galactose, respectively for 14 days (from the 1st to the 14th day of the experiment). The morphometric analysis, testicular apoptosis examination, and sperm analysis were performed, and testosterone level, total antioxidant capacity, and malondialdehyde level were evaluated on day 42 of the experiment. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: Administration of TQ in the TQ1 group caused a significant difference in sperm parameters, compared to the D-galactose group (P<0.05). The lowest amount of positive tunnel cells was related to 5 mg/kg of TQ and the highest to 2.5 mg/kg of TQ. There was no significant difference in the parameters of seminal vesicles, epididymis, prostate, and testis between the groups (P>0.05). The malondialdehyde level were decreased in the TQ1-TQ3 groups, compared to the D-galactose group (P<0.001). On the other hand, the total antioxidant capacity was increased significantly in the TQ1 group, compared to the D-galactose group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Administration of 5 mg of TQ for 14 days improved sperm quality and biochemical parameters, while reducing apoptotic cells of the testes in a mouse model of aging.
