The decrease of GPx and GSH and the increase of the MDA levels give evidence of misbalance in the antioxidant status. The decreased values of MDA and the increased GPx activity and GSH concentrations at the second examination proved the positive effect of the treatment. The strengthened antioxidant potential of workers exposed to a mixture of hydrocarbons confirmed the possibilities that the exposure-related health risk can be controlled and the adverse effects prevented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
