Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis in vitiligo patients

Abstract: IntroductionVitiligo is an acquired depigmentation disorder with melanocyte destruction.AimTo examine the thiol/disulphide balance in vitiligo patients and to compare the results with a healthy control group.Material and methodsThirty-two patients with vitiligo and 35 healthy individuals were included in the study. Native thiol, disulfide and total thiol levels in plasma were evaluated using a new and automated spectrophotometric method. Disulphide/total thiol, disulphide/native thiol and native thiol/total th… Show more

“…In recent years, thiol-disulfide homeostasis has been studied in various dermatological conditions. Different results have been obtained, but all attest to the role of thiols and disulfides in the oxidant-antioxidant balance and subsequently in disease pathogenesis [ 76 , 77 , 78 ]. Thiols are an important part of the antioxidant system playing an essential role in mechanisms such as apoptosis, activation of signaling pathways, detoxification, etc.…”

“…Disruption of this ratio acts a part in the pathogenesis of many inflammatory diseases such as diabetes mellitus, inflammatory arthritis, renal failure, cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer, multiple sclerosis. Shifting thiol/disulfide balance to disulfide direction was seen in degenerative diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and pneumonia, to thiol direction poses risk factor neoplastic processes such as multiple myeloma, bladder, colon and kidney cancer (27).…”
