Purpose: In the recent years, the relationship between inflammation and atherosclerosis induced, which is a chronic inflammatory disease, acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina and acute myocard infarction, has gained importance. Acute phase reactants, as...

Objective: Nicotine is an important component of cigarette smoke. Nicotine administration may result in oxidative stress by inducing the generation of reactive oxygen species in the periphery and central nervous system. Numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated an...

Objective: Portal hypertension is a hyperdinamic circulation disorder characterized by high portal venous pressure. The aim of the study is to reveal oxidative damage measuring nitric oxide levels and myeloperoxidase, xanthine oxidase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione...

Purpose: Nitric oxide(NO) is one of the important substances that are synthesized to keep the blood vessels dilated enough to provide adequate flow and to maintain cerebrovascular homeostasis. Creactive protein(CRP) is a highly sensitive indicator of inflammation and tissue...

Objective: Colorectal cancer is one of the most endemic cancers causing significant health problems which decreases life quality and causes job loss. As in several cancer types, it is assumed that oxidative damage and consequent inşammation may have an effect on colorectal...

Objective: Defibrotide, a polydeoxyribonucleotide, has been found to modulate endothelial cell function and to have an antithrombotic effect on arteries, veins and capillaries. A significant amonut of evidence has been found about the protective role of defibrotide in...

Aim: The oxidative stress which is caused by free radicals can play role in emerging and/or progressing many diseases. Hyperthyroidism can induce a lot of changes dealing with the systems of nitric oxide (NO) and antioxidant systems of several tissues in increasing the...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nicotine on myocardium of newborn rats whose mothers received nicotine during gestation and lactation, by using biochemical and pathological parameters and to evaluate the role of antioxidant enzymes, free oxygen...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels and nitric oxide (NO) levels in rats with dietary walnut consumption.

Materials and Methods: The rats were divided into 2 groups as a control...

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is any protective effect of a regular endurance exercise on the L-Thyroxine-induced oxidative stress in lung tissue of rats.

Materials and methods: Twenty-three male Sprague Dawley rats...

Aim: To investigate the presence of oxidative stress and dyslipidemia, which increase cardiovascular risk, and the effect of gonadotropin replacement therapy on these parameters in patients with Idiopathic Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (IHH).
