Salivary Antioxidative Index in Newborns at Risk of Sepsis as Novel Parameter for Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis

Abstract:  Abstract-Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome in the first months of infant life due to a systemic response caused by the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their products in the blood. Sepsis promotes the unbalanced production of oxidant and anti-oxidant substances, causing an excess of free oxygen radicals. Early markers of neonatal sepsis have been studied in recent years, and we proposed another parameter to detect early-onset neonatal sepsis with salivary antioxidative index (SAOI), saliva has b… Show more

“…Salivary antioxidative index is ratio of salivary enzymatic antioxidant activity to salivary hydrogen peroxide level, shows that any decrease of SAOI will contribute presence of sepsis about 3,7 fold. This study suggests a marker role of SAOI to detect oxidative stress on early-onset of neonatal sepsis [21].…”

“…9 The production of ROS in neonatal sepsis has been documented in various studies, including our previous studies that have shown an increase in ROS such as peroxide in neonatal sepsis. 10 The increased ROS level is one of the predisposing factors for disease severity. 11 An excessive increase in ROS will activate endogenous enzymatic antioxidants such as Catalase (CAT) to prevent the accumulation of ROS in the body.…”

“…8,9 NADPH oxidase is involved in the formation of several ROS such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), while MPO was involved in the formation of another ROS such as HOCl. 10 HOCl leads to chlorinative stress. Both oxidative and chlorinative stress leads to lipid peroxidation.…”

“…Both oxidative and chlorinative stress leads to lipid peroxidation. 10 This process was characterised by the formation of some compounds such as malondialdehyde (MDA). 11 MDA is an indicator for ROS-induced lipid peroxidation.…”
