“…Serum samples from OSMF patients revealed increased MDA [24], ceruloplasmin [29], LPOs [8], nitric oxide [30], and decreased levels of beta-carotene, vitamin E [8], and SOD levels [30]. Human studies largely demonstrated elevated levels of oxidative stress biomarkers serum MDA [8,23,25,26,83], salivary 8-hydroxy-2 -deoxyguanosine [31], salivary 8isoprostane [33], salivary lactoperoxidase and total salivary protein [34], and serum copper [27,28], calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, LPOs, conjugated dienes, and hydroxyl radicals [28]. MDA was found by two articles to be more significant with higher clinical OSMF staging and grading [8,83], while 8-OHdG (salivary oxidative stress biomarker) levels were almost double in OSMF patients [31].…”
