Journal ArticleDOI
Increased lipid peroxidation in patients on maintenance hemodialysis
TL;DR: In patients on maintenance hemodialysis there was evidence for accelerated lipid peroxidation, and this abnormality was more marked in patients using traditional cupraphane dialyzers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of the Trolox assay to estimate the antioxidant content of seventeen edible wild plants of Niger.
Julia A. Cook,Dorothy J. VanderJagt,Amitava Dasgupta,G. Mounkaila,R. S. Glew,Walter Blackwell,Robert H. Glew +6 more
TL;DR: The total antioxidant capacity of the aqueous extracts was relatively high, indicating that the wild plants of the western Sahel may contain substantial amounts of water-soluble flavonoid glycosides, which are potent antioxidants and have been shown to have anticancer properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption of therapeutic drugs by barrier gels in serum separator blood collection tubes. Volume- and time-dependent reduction in total and free drug concentrations.
TL;DR: The data suggest that serum separator blood collection tubes should be used with extreme caution for therapeutic drug monitoring, particularly when reduced sample volumes or prolonged specimen storage may be required.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro lipid peroxidation of human serum catalyzed by cupric ion: antioxidant rather than prooxidant role of ascorbate.
TL;DR: The results indicate an outstanding anti-oxidant property of human serum due to the chelation of transition metal ions by various serum proteins, and a proposed mechanism is based on the observation that the concentration of ascorbate decreased more slowly in serum than in phosphate buffer at physiological pH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased total antioxidant capacity and elevated lipid hydroperoxide concentrations in sera of epileptic patients receiving phenytoin
Christina Mahle,Amitava Dasgupta +1 more
TL;DR: Low correlation between the serum lipid hydroperoxide concentration and triglyceride or cholesterol concentration in epileptic patients is observed and it is concluded that lipid hydro peroxide concentrations were elevated in sera of epilepsyptic patients.
