“…Thus, in patients with SAP, the evaluation of the TAS levels in conjunction with lymphocyte DNA damage may better delineate the protective status of the patients against oxidative stress. The absence of significant TOS levels in correlation with TAS and lymphocyte DNA damage levels support the finding in the literature that different oxidative stress factors with different anti-oxidant capacity may function in distinct inflammatory conditions (20,21). The reflection of oxidative status in AP with the findings of reduced TAS levels and severity of lymphocyte DNA damage and severity of AP in the early stages are the two main important finding in our study.…”

“…In a previous study Demirbag et al [37] using alkaline Comet assay have demonstrated an increase in DNA damage in obese patients with respect to non-obese ones, stating that the obesity may be considered as a risk factor independent of DNA damage. Our results above all confirm the existence of an increase in DNA damage in both NWO and OB women, with respect to control subjects, probably sustained by inflammatory status too.…”

“…Second, collateral circulation to the microvascular bed will be insufficient if the donor artery is also diseased. Third, oxidative stress is increased in acute coronary syndrome with the severity of coronary artery disease, whereas oxidant stress reduces the vasodilatatory effects of nitric oxide, adenosine, and prostacyclin [23][24][25]. Interestingly, there were fewer smokers in the patient group with MBG 0/1.…”
