Cervical carcinoma (CaCx) is the second most common gynecological cancers globally. Many authors revealed that low levels of antioxidants induce the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that result in oxidative stress. In the present study an attempt was made to evaluate the oxidative stress in 20 women with cervical carcinoma by measuring serum Malondialdehyde (MDA), Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and Ascorbic acid (Vit-C) levels which was compared with 20 age matched non cancerous women. Signicantly elevated MDA levels (P<0.001) and lowered GST, Vit-C levels (P<0.0001) were observed in women with cervical carcinoma as compared with healthy controls. From our ndings it can be concluded that oxidative stress plays an important role in pathogenesis of cervical carcinoma. Hence supplementation of antioxidants may reduce the oxidative stress and minimize the associated morbidity and mortality
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.
