“…This is in agreement with a previous report 25 but is in contrast with two other studies. 26,27 The reduction of NO observed in the present study is indicative of reduced intracellular killing of Mtb and innate cellular immunosuppression in patients with TB, which may account partly for the continuous persistence of Mtb in macrophages and neutrophils. NO is produced by converting arginine, an amino acid, into citrulline using inducible nitric oxide synthase in phagocytes.…”

“…Several previous studies have found that SOD levels were significantly lower in tuberculosis patients than the control group. The percentage of SOD inhibition in tuberculosis patients was lower than that of the healthy subjects [3], [4]. Other previous studies also showed that the SOD levels in the group of diabetic patients were lower than the group of healthy subjects [24], [25].…”

“…Antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and others, can decrease this effect. However, previous studies showed that the activity or levels of SOD decreased in tuberculosis patients [3], [4].…”
