Peripheral Blood Markers of Oxidative Stress in Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract: Oxidative stress and generation of reactive oxygen species are believed to be implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Erythrocyte activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, the blood glutathione system, and plasma levels of thiobarbituric-acid-reactive substances (TBARS) were measured in 80 PD patients. These biochemical parameters were also measured in 29 age-matched controls. Patients with PD had significantly higher red blood corpuscle (RBC) activity of SOD. The mean RBC activity of catalase in PD… Show more

“…Altered redox status in PD has been demonstrated in studies of two potent antioxidants, coenzyme Q10 in blood 35,36 and CSF 37 and glutathione in plasma samples. 38 Oxidative damage to DNA has been demonstrated in PD by detection of elevated levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, …”

“…39,40 Markers of oxidative damage to lipids are similarly elevated. Malondialdehyde, formed as reactive oxygen species degrade polyunsaturated lipids, was found to be significantly increased in plasma levels in PD, 38,41 and plasma F(2)-isoprostanes (a fatty acid peroxidation product) and cholesterol oxidation products have been found to be elevated in PD. 42 Urate is included in this section since it is a potent antioxidant, as well as a metal chelator capable of binding iron.…”

“…Specifically, we (10,11) and others (12)(13)(14)(15)(16) have used lymphocytes to understand the relationship between OS phenomena and PD. Previous studies have shown that ROT induced apoptosis in lymphocytes in a concentration-and time-dependent manner by a molecular signaling mechanism under standard G condition (i.e., 11 mM G, hereafter 11 G) (17).…”

“…Environmental toxins and genetic disorders associated with apoptosis and protein breakdown may also play a role [2,3]. Oxidative stress leads to the damage of extremely sensitive neurons and is an important factor in both the initiation and progression of PD.…”

“…The listed properties of propofol suggest that it may have protective effects that are relevant to neurodegenerative disease. Accounting for the special role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of PD, it has been suggested that future treatments will include antioxidant therapy [3,6]. The present study aimed to evaluate selected parameters of the liver oxidativeantioxidative system in a Wistar rat model of Parkinson's disease treated with propofol.…”
