Superoxide Dismutase Levels and Polymorphism (Ala16val) In Tuberculosis Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Medan City

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Infectious diseases and metabolic disorders would result in oxidative stress in cells. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an antioxidant present inside cells that acts against oxidative stress. SOD gene polymorphism can affect the activity and levels of SOD. AIM: This study aimed to analyse SOD levels and polymorphism of gene (ala16val) that regulated SOD in tuberculosis patients with diabetes mellitus in Medan city. METHODS: A total of 40 tuberculosis patients with diabetes mellitus and 40 … Show more

“…Polykretis et al demonstrated that glyoxal, another strong oxidizing dialdehyde capable of forming AGEs, may combine with SOD1 to produce persistent adducts due to the liberation of the positive charge from the Cu, Zn-SOD1 catalytic site. 28 The results show a change in antioxidant enzyme level. Especially in the second withdrawal, due to the glyoxalase pathway primarily responsible for MGO detoxification.…”

“…Previous study showed that there was a decrease of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione in DM patients compared to healthy subjects [30]. The other study showed that decrease of SOD level occurred in tuberculosis patients with DM compared to healthy subjects [31]. Decline of antioxidants levels stimulate oxidative stress in the cell and trigger insulin resistance.…”

“…Super-oxide dismutase (SOD) was found to be upregulated in the DM and TBDM patients in comparison to TB only and healthy controls. SOD levels are found to be low in tuberculosis patients and higher in DM patients in comparison to healthy controls (20,21). Upregulated expression of SOD has also been observed in Helicobacter Pylori infection, which supports the fact that the pathogen has developed protective mechanism against immune system (22).…”
