Abstract

Objectives: Increased levels of free radicals and oxidant molecules and decreased levels of antioxidant molecules have been defined in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels have been advocated as a biomarker for evaluating the oxidative stress status. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress and MS. Materials and methods: We compared serum ischemia modified albumin levels and prolidase activity of 42 patients with MS (30 female, 12 male) and 30 age-matched healthy controls (21 female, 9 male). Results: Ischemia modified albumin levels of MS patients (73,07±26,53 ng/mL) were significantly higher than those of controls (60,18±18,01 ng/mL) (p=0.024). However, there were no significant differences in prolidase levels between patients and healthy controls (p=0.856). Conclusions: Increased ischemia modified albumin levels, supports the role of oxidative stress in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Multipl sklerozlu hastalarda serum prolidaz ve iskemi modifiye albümin düzeyleri

Abstract

Amaç: Multipl skleroz (MS) hastalarında oksidan moleküller olan serbest radikallerin arttığı ve antioksidan moleküllerin düzeylerinin azaldığı bilinmektedir. İskemik modifiye albüminin oksidatif stresi gösterebilecek biyolojik bir belirteç olduğu savunulmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı MS ve oksidatif stres ilişkisini göstermektir. Gereç ve yöntem: Kırk iki MS hastası (30 kadın, 12 erkek) ve 30 sağlıklı kontrol (21 kadın, 9 erkek) bireyde iskemik modifiye albümin düzeyleri ve prolidaz aktivitesi ölçüldü. Bulgular: İskemik modifiye albümin düzeyleri MS hastalarında (73,07±26,53 ng/mL) kontrol grubuna (60,18±18,01 ng/mL) göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek bulundu (p=0.024). Hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında prolidaz seviyeleri açısından ise anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p =0.856). Sonuç: İskemik modifiye albümin düzeylerinin artışı multipl skleroz hastalarında oksidatif stresin rolünü destekler.
