Increased oxidative stress and decreased membrane fluidity in erythrocytes of CAD patients

Abstract: One of many risk factors for cardiovascular disease appears to be oxidative stress. To estimate possible changes in redox balance, membrane fluidity, and cholesterol level in erythrocytes was collected erythrocytes from patients diagnosed with coronary artery disease (CAD). The study included 20 patients with previous myocardial infarction occurring more than 6 months prior to the time of screening with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) > 70 mg/dL and 21 healthy controls. The following parameters wer… Show more

“…These are mainly composed of enzymes such as superoxide dismutases (SODs) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), which scavenge the reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by cellular metabolism. The process of coronary atherosclerosis is affected by these important enzymes [15]. SOD, which belongs to an enzyme family that is widely found in human cells and body fluids, protects cells against potential cytotoxicity by catalytically scavenging harmful superoxide radicals (O 2 − ).…”

“…MDA is a common general product of nonenzymatic peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty and arachidonic acids. MDA may be increased in major depression (49) and in cardiovascular patients (15,59). Moreover, MDA is considered not only to be a product of lipid peroxidation but also known to be harmful for cell functions (1).…”

“…The decreased activity of the antioxidative systems might be responsible for the increased peroxidation of membrane lipids or vice versa. However, it has been reported that increased peroxidation of membrane lipids causes a reduction in the activity of antioxidative enzymes [19,20].…”
