Brief Summary:
Determination of the mean value of oxidative stress parameters in normals and of the plasma and serum levels resp of malondialdehyde glutathion and superoxide dismutase in healthy subjects
Detailed Description:
In certain situations free radicals can be generated in an exaggerated manner and can injure tissues and organs by interacting with lipids proteins or DNA So oxidative stress has been implicated in a large number of human diseases To survive the human body has developed a complex efficient and highly adaptive antioxidant defense system The eye is also protected against oxidative stress by several mechanisms involving antioxidant enzymes such as catalase CAT and superoxide dismutase SOD as well as by low-molecular-weight antioxidants such as glutathion GSH and ascorbate
Primary open-angle glaucoma POAG is a chronic slowly progressive optic neuropathy characterized by excavation of the optic nerve head ONH and a distinctive pattern of visual field VF defects The disease is multifactorial in origin so that besides more extensively investigated factors oxidative stress has also been proposed as a contributing factor in the etiology of glaucomatous optic neuropathy Oxidative stress represents a harmful state defined by the presence of pathologic levels of reactive oxygen species ROS relative to antioxidant defense
Therefore it would be also important to determine whether there is a relationship between circulating levels of the defense parameters to oxidative stress like malondialdehyde GSH and SOD and the occurrence of POAG
Since there are only the limits of variation for these defense parameters available mean values of the plasma levels of malondialdehyde glutathion and superoxide dismutase will be determined in healthy subjects
