Increased Oxidative Stress Reduces the Level of Serum Paraoxonase-1(pon-1) and Other Biochemical Markers in Patients With Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Ptb) in Nepalese Population.
Abstract:The aim of this study was to assess the total peroxides level and paraoxonase (PON1) activities in patients with Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Nepalese population. Material and methods: A total of 70 (40 newly diagnosed active PTB and 30 healthy control) subjects were recruited for this study. Anthropometric variables, total peroxide and PON1 activities were determined in control and PTB subjects.Serum glucose, urea, total protein, albumin, globulin and uric acid levels were also determined in the participan… Show more
