Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are group of diseases that are transmitted by vaginal, anal or oral intercourse. They can be viral, bacterial, parasitic or protozoal infection. Every day more than one million STIs acquired (Ott & Santelli, 2019). Viral warts are benign growths that are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection that infect skin and mucosa. HPV has more than 120 subtypes, and it is a double-stranded DNA virus. Genital warts commonly occur in perigenital areas and perianal areas, and they are usually asymptomatic. The occurring inflammation due to warts causes some sort of imbalance of oxidant versus antioxidant systems in tissues (Cokluk et al., 2015). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) as molecular oxygen (O 2), hydroxyl radicals (OH −), superoxide anion (O − 2) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in low levels participate in multiple cellular processes, such as cell differentiation cell proliferation, immune responses and apoptosis (Trouba, Hamadeh, Amin, & Germolec, 2002).
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.
