Objective: To identify which oxidative stress markers can influence early stroke prognosis. Methodology: This is a systematic review carried out in two databases, PubMed and Web of Science, from November to December 2018. Two blinded, independent researchers probed the databases and gleaned descriptors indexed on both sites. “Markers”, “oxidative stress” AND “stroke” were the terms singled out for this study. The inclusion criteria were: the articles needed to have been published in English from 2013 to 2018, as well as include descriptors either in the title or in the abstract, and involve clinical trials with samples composed of stroke survivors. The exclusion criteria were: research involving animal experimentation; duplicate publications; articles without a clear methodology; articles that chiefly addressed any disease other than stroke, and those that were not available in full. Results: This review identified TBARS, catalase, nitric oxide (NO), Thiois, C-reactive protein and SOD as the most recurrent oxidative regulation markers in stroke survivors. These findings may direct new research toward obtaining early prognoses, and therefore enable more accurate decision-making. thus minimizing the costs and time related to the patient rehabilitation process.

Stroke survivors are at substantial risk of recurrent cerebrovascular event or cardiovascular disease. Exercise training offers nonpharmacological treatment for these subjects; however, the execution of the traditional exercise protocols and adherence is constantly pointed out as obstacles. Based on these premises, the present study investigated the impact of an 8-week dynamic resistance training protocol with elastic bands on functional, hemodynamic, and cardiac autonomic modulation, oxidative stress markers, and plasma nitrite concentration in stroke survivors. Twenty-two patients with stroke were randomized into control group (CG, n=11) or training group (TG, n=11). Cardiac autonomic modulation, oxidative stress markers, plasma nitrite concentration, physical function and hemodynamic parameters were evaluated before and after 8 weeks. Results indicated that functional parameters (standing up from the sitting position (P=0.011) and timed up and go (P=0.042)) were significantly improved in TG. Although not statistically different, both systolic blood pressure (Δ=−10.41 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (Δ=−8.16 mmHg) were reduced in TG when compared to CG. Additionally, cardiac autonomic modulation (sympathovagal balance–LF/HF ratio) and superoxide dismutase were improved, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and carbonyl levels were reduced in TG when compared to the CG subjects. In conclusion, our findings support the hypothesis that dynamic resistance training with elastic bands may improve physical function, hemodynamic parameters, autonomic modulation, and oxidative stress markers in stroke survivors. These positive changes would be associated with a reduced risk of a recurrent stroke or cardiac event in these subjects.

AbstractBackground: This study was undertaken to determine the association of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) with generalized and abdominal obesity, body fat composition, the metabolic syndrome, and oxidative stress markers among young people.Methods: We conducted a population-based study of 512 young people, aged 10–18 years. We obtained anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. Fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, CRP, malondialdehyde (MDA), and conjugated diene (CDE) were quantified. LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated for samples with TG ≤4.52 mmol/LResults: Mean triglycerides, waist and hip circumferences, percentage body fat, subcutaneous fat, and systolic blood pressure increased significantly with increasing body mass index (BMI). In contrast, the mean LDL and TC were higher in underweight than normal weight individuals, and then increased significantly from normal to higher BMI categories. Mean HDL cholesterol significantly decreased with increasing BMI. Overall, CRP, MDA, and CDE were significantly correlated with measures of abdominal obesity. Serum CRP, MDA, and CDE significantly increased in the upper quartiles of waist circumference. Study participants with higher CRP concentrations were more likely to have metabolic syndrome and high oxidative stress markers.Conclusion: We found a significant positive association between CRP and oxidative stress markers in healthy young people, as well as an increase in these markers in the upper quartiles of waist circumference, but not BMI. Oxidative stress and CRP may interact in the early inflammatory processes of atherosclerosis.
