Background Despite therapy, arterial hypertension continues to be a risk factor of coronary
artery disease (GAD). The role of oxidative stress, an important source of vascular injury, in …

Objective: To evaluate oxidative stress markers in normo and hyperinsulinaemic essential
hypertension patients, and to relate these parameters to plasma glucose and insulin levels …

Oxidative stress contributes significantly to graft failure, morbidity and mortality in renal
transplant recipients (RTR). In cells, free sulfhydryl groups (reduced thiols, R-SH) are the …

Decreased circulating levels of free thiols (R-SH, sulfhydryl groups) reflect enhanced
oxidative stress, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic …

We hypothesized that redox analysis could provide sensitive markers of the oxidative
pathway associated to the presence of an increasing number of cardiovascular risk factors …

BACKGROUND: We sought to evaluate the association between pre-hypertension status
and oxidative stress markers (total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and oxidized low density …

Background It is amply reported that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) have increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent evidence suggests …

Background Oxidative stress, which is thought to be increased in subjects with various
coronary risk factors, induces thioredoxin (TRX), a redox-active protein. Methods and …

Objective Intracellular glutathione in its reduced state is a principal cellular biomolecule with
antioxidant activity. Glutathione and homocysteine metabolism are closely associated. As …

The risk of developing chronic hypertension increases with age. Among others factors,
increased oxidative stress is a well-recognized etiological factor for the development of …
