Plasma oxidative parameters and mortality in patients with severe burn injury

Abstract: For the first time we demonstrate the value of oxidative parameters, namely thiobarbituric acid reactive species, protein carbonyls, and xanthine oxidase activity, in identifying burn patients with a poor prognosis. Whether these parameters are merely markers of clinical course, or whether they signal specific deleterious effects of oxidative stress during the burn injury remains to be elucidated.

“…The evolution of plasma TBARs after burn showed an unexpected decrease in the two groups. However, Lipid peroxidation after burn injury has been largely documented in humans [31,71,72] and animals [73,74]. In the present study and contrastly to selenium [67], zinc status does not seem to be determinant to protect lipids from burn-induced free radical production.…”

“…In a rat model of traumatic brain injury (TBI), an increase in biochemical markers of oxidative and nitrosative stresses were recorded with a concomitant decrease in antioxidants such as ascorbic acid and glutathione [5]. Similar findings have been reported in other conditions such as acute lung injury and severe burn injury [6,7]. Obviously, measuring multiple biochemical parameters, such as total antioxidants, lipid peroxidation, free radical production, protein oxidation, and/or enzyme activity, is time consuming and impractical in a clinical setting.…”

“…OS due to effect of dengue infection on protein-bound sulphydryls in human plasma is not well understood [6] . In dengue patients, increased levels of total antioxidant status (TAS) like SOD, GSH, and LPO have been observed, and decreased levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and total hydroperoxides (THP) have been observed as compared to normal [7] .…”
