Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Vitamin Status in Oral Cavity and Oropharyngeal Cancer Patients

Abstract: Background: This study was conducted to determine levels of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant vitamin status in patients with oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer. Methods: The study group consisted of a total number of 80 subjects between the age 40-68 years, 40 with clinically and histopathologically proved cases of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer and 40 normal healthy, age and sex matched volunteers as controls. Levels of lipid peroxidation products as malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant vitamins as… Show more

“…Thus, increased levels of MDA in oral leukoplakia and OSCC patients reflect interactions with various carcinogenic agents, which confirms increased lipid peroxidation and OS in these patients (9,33). However, aggravated free radical damage plays a causative role in carcinogenesis due to reduced activity of antioxidants that fail to cope with elevated OS levels, as observed in our study with significant depletion of GSH levels (34).…”
