Abstract
Background
We evaluated the relationship between otitis media with effusion and thiol/disulfide homeostasis using a novel marker of oxidative stress.
Methods
The study group consisted of 30 patients (mean age 8.33 ± 3.30 years) with bilateral otitis media with effusion admitted to our hospital. The control group consisted of 35 (mean age 7.40 ± 3.97 years) age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched healthy subjects. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was measured using a newly developed method.
Results
Native and total thiol levels were lower in the study than the control group (native thiols 421.37 ± 72 μmol/L vs. 464.46 ± 46.42 μmol/L, p < 0.05; total thiols 468.42 ± 77.89 μmol/L vs. 501.32 ± 50.30 μmol/L, respectively). Disulfide levels and the disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios were higher in the study group (disulfides 23.56 ± 4.68 μmol/L vs. 18.43 ± 4.94 μmol/L; disulfide/native thiol ratio 5.65 ± 1.05 vs. 3.97 ± 1.03%; disulfide/total thiol ratio 5.06 ± 0.83 vs. 3.66 ± 0.88%, respectively).
Conclusion
Oxidative stress may be the major cause of the increase in oxidized thiols in patients with bilateral otitis media with effusion, however, this relationship requires further investigation.

Abstract
AIM:
To evaluate the impact of postmenopausal osteoporosis on thiol/disulfide homeostasis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A total of 75 participants were divided into two groups: Group 1 (n = 40) was composed of healthy postmenopausal women, and group 2 (n = 35) was composed of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. Clinical findings and thiol/disulfide homeostasis were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
The disulfide/native thiol ratio was 8.6% ± 3.6 in group 1 and 12.7% ± 8.4 in group 2 (p = 0.04). The disulfide/native thiol percent ratio was significantly higher in group 2 after adjustment for the years since menopause and age (p < 0.05). The native thiol/total thiol percent ratio was 85.6% ± 4.8 in group 1 and 73.8% ± 24.9 in group 2 (p = 0.01). The native thiol/total thiol percent ratio was significantly lower in group 2 after adjustment for the years since menopause and age (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION:
Thiol/disulfide homeostasis shifted to the disulfide side independent of age and years since menopause in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
Simple febrile seizures are generally benign, but during the seizure, elevated levels of glutamate and high levels of oxygen use due to the high metabolic brain activity result in oxidative stress. However, the relationship between febrile seizures and oxidative stress remains unclear. In this study, we investigated thiol/disulfide homeostasis as a new oxidative stress parameter in patients with simple febrile seizures. This study was performed between February 2016 and May 2016 at the Pediatric Emergency Unit. The study population consisted of 40 patients with a diagnosis of simple febrile seizure and 30 control participants aged 8-59 months. Total thiol, native thiol and disulfide levels, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratios were used as thiol/disulfide homeostasis parameters and were quantified in patient and control groups. Furthermore, correlations with seizure duration were investigated. In the patient group, native and total thiol levels and native thiol/total thiol ratios were low, and disulfide levels, disulfide/native thiol, and disulfide/total thiol ratios were significantly higher than in the control group. Negative correlations were observed between seizure duration, total and native thiol levels, and native thiol/total thiol ratio, whereas positive correlations were observed between seizure duration and disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratio. The sensitivities of both disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios were high for simple febrile seizures. Simple febrile seizures may cause impairment in favor of disulfide bonds in thiol/disulfide homeostasis. Overall, these changes may contribute to neuronal cell damage after simple febrile seizures.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
To determine the serum thiol disulfide homeostasis in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome.
METHOD:
Thirty-five patients with PEX syndrome and forty healthy subjects were included in this observational case-control study. Serum native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, and native thiol/disulfide ratio were determined using a novel and automated assay.
RESULTS:
The mean serum total thiol and native thiol levels were significantly lower in patients with PEX syndrome compared to healthy controls (p = 0.001). The mean serum disulfide level was significantly higher in patients with PEX syndrome compared to healthy controls (p = 0.023). The serum native thiol/disulfide ratio was lower in patients with PEX syndrome compared to healthy subjects (16 ± 10.1 vs 22.3 ± 11.5, respectively, p = 0.014).
CONCLUSION:
Our findings provide evidence that the dynamic native thiol/disulfide ratio is lower in PEX syndrome, which shows a reduction in the natural cell reductive capacity reservoir.

Clinical Utility of Thiol/Disulfide Homeostasis.
Erenler AK, Yardan T.
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Recently, the usefulness of thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH) in various diseases is being widely investigated. In this mini-review, our aim is to clarify the role of TDH in clinical practice in the light of current literature.
METHODS:
We performed a systematic review of the existing literature describing the clinical utility of TDH in the clinical setting. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL were used as data sources. Two reviewers conducted independent screening and data extraction. Use of TDH in each system was investigated separately.
RESULTS:
A total of 35 studies were detected in this mini-review. Our results revealed the protective role of TDH and its utility as a diagnostic marker in many common diseases in clinical practice.
CONCLUSIONS:
Maintenance of TDH as a crucial part of antioxidant defense system is critical in diagnosis and prognosis of potentially lethal diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
To evaluate dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC).
METHODS:
This prospective study included 34 cCSC cases and 37 healthy individuals who were age- and sex-matched. A new colorimetric method for measuring thiol/disulfide homeostasis was used. Native thiol, total thiol/disulfide levels, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratios were measured.
RESULTS:
The age and gender distributions were similar in both main groups. The mean duration of disease was 47.29 ± 24 months. Native and total thiol levels were significantly lower among the cCSC group relative to the control group (p < 0.001). There was not a statistically significant difference between the cCSC and the control group in terms of disulfide levels (p = 0.492). While disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios were elevated, the native thiol/total thiol ratio was decreased in the cCSC group (p = 0.017, 0.021, 0.036, respectively). Ratios obtained using plasma native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide levels differed significantly between the both groups.
CONCLUSION:
Disulfide/thiol ratio was significantly greater in cCSC patients relative to healthy control subjects. Our results suggest that the oxidative process is involved in the pathogenesis of the cCSC.

Author information
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel oxidative stress marker (thiol/disulfide homeostasis) in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children for the first time in literature.
METHODS:
Ninety children with ADHD diagnosed according to DSM-V and as control group, 65 healthy children were included to the study. Native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol were compared between the groups.
RESULTS:
Total and native thiol levels were significantly higher whereas the disulfide/native thiol ratios were significantly lower in children with ADHD. ADHD combined type appeared to have higher disulfide, disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios compared to other subtypes. Disulfide levels of the males with ADHD were significantly higher than those of the females with ADHD.
CONCLUSION:
This study suggests that thiol/disulfide homeostasis is abnormal in children with ADHD. It may be used as a novel OS marker in ADHD children because it is easy, practical, fully automated and relatively inexpensive.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
The etiology of multiple myeloma (MM) is not exactly known. This study investigated the role of thiol/disulfide homeostasis in the etiopathogenesis of MM.
METHODS:
Some 50 patients with MM (aged 39-84 years) and 50 sex-matched healthy volunteer controls (aged 50-91 years) participated in this study. Venous blood samples were collected, and levels of native thiols, total thiols, and disulfide were measured.
RESULTS:
Native and total thiol levels in the control group were determined to be higher than in the study and patient groups (P<0.001). Disulfide levels were found to be higher in the control group than in the study group and higher in newly diagnosed patients than in outpatients who were undergoing treatment (P=0.002). The ratios of thiol levels were found to be similar in both the study and control groups (P>0.05).
DISCUSSION:
The results of the study show that although there was a decrease in the levels of disulfide, native thiol, and total thiol, the balance of thiol/disulfide was maintained. This is the first study to research the homeostasis of dynamic thiol/disulfide from the perspective of the new method that was used. We hope that this study will encourage and facilitate further studies in this area.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the maternal thiol/disulfide homeostasis in pregnant women complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and to compare the results with healthy pregnancies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
This cohort study consisted of thirty-nine pregnancies complicated by PPROM and 44 gestational age-matched healthy pregnancies in the third trimester of gestation. Maternal serum samples were obtained at the day of diagnosis, and thiol/disulfide profiles were measured by using an automated assay method. The patients were followed till delivery, and perinatal outcomes were noted.
RESULTS:
The maternal native thiol (319.9 ± 30.5 μmol/L versus 305.1 ± 49.2 μmol/L, p: .100), total thiol (379.2 ± 38.8 μmol/L versus 363.6 ± 56.4 μmol/L, p: .142) and disulfide (29.7 ± 11.7 μmol/L versus 29.3 ± 10.1 μmol/L, p: .864) levels were similar between the groups. Maternal disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios were similar between the groups (p: .610, p: .565 and .562, respectively). The maternal serum thiol/disulfide profiles were not significantly correlated with maternal serum C-reactive protein, white blood cell count values and ongoing pregnancy outcomes (p > .05).
CONCLUSIONS:
The current study demonstrated that there was not any disturbance in maternal thiol/disulfide homeostasis in pregnancies complicated by PPROM at the time of initial diagnosis. Follow-up studies with larger sample size are needed to confirm our results.

Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis and effects of smoking on homeostasis parameters in patients with psoriasis.
Emre S1, Demirseren DD1, Alisik M2, Aktas A1, Neselioglu S2, Erel O2.
Author information
Abstract
PURPOSE:
Recently, increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), reduced antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress have been suggested in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The aim of this study to evaluate the thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with psoriasis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Ninety patients with psoriasis who did not receive any systemic treatment in the last six months were included in the study. Seventy-six age and gender-matched healthy volunteers served as control group. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was measured in venous blood samples obtained from patient and control groups.
RESULTS:
Native thiol and total thiol levels were significantly higher in patients than in control group. When thiol/disulfide hemostasis parameters and clinical and demographic characteristics were compared, a negative correlation was detected between native thiol and total thiol with age. The levels of total thiols had also negative correlation with PASI and duration of the disease. When we divided the patients into smokers and non-smokers, native thiol and total thiol levels were significantly higher in smokers than in controls, whereas native thiol and total thiol levels were comparable in non-smoker patients and controls.
CONCLUSIONS:
Thiol/disulfide balance shifted towards thiol in psoriasis patients and this may be responsible for increased keratinocyte proliferation in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Author information
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate thiol/disulfide homeostasis in asphalt workers who are exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons occupationally. The study was carried out in 34 nonsmoker asphalt workers. Additionally, 35 healthy nonsmoker volunteers were recruited as control group. Thiol and disulfide concentrations were determined using the novel automated measurement method. Levels of urinary 1-OH-pyrene were analyzed by liquid chromatography. Disulfide/thiol ratio was significantly higher in exposed group (p = .034). Also, a positive correlation was detected between disulfide/thiol ratio and 1-OH-pyrene values (r = .249, p = .036). Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was found to be disturbed in asphalt workers. The novel test used in this study may be useful for evaluating the oxidative status in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure.

Author information
Abstract
This study evaluates the redox state in occupationally arsenic-exposed workers (n = 71) by assessing the dynamic serum thiol-disulfide homeostasis. We determined the serum thiol-disulfide homeostasis parameters of exposed workers and controls (n = 43) using a novel automated colorimetric assay. Median urinary As and 8-isoprostane levels of exposed group were significantly higher than control group (16.40 μg/L vs 2μg/L, p < .001 and 2.28 ng/ml vs 0.54 ng/ml, p < .001, respectively). Disulfide level, disulfide/native thiol ratio, and disulfide/total thiol ratio were significantly higher in exposed group. The mean ceruloplasmine and myeloperoxidase activities of As-exposed group were significantly higher than control group (117.15 U/L vs 87.02 U/L, p = .035 and 148.53 U/L vs 97.75 U/L, p = .000, respectively). The median catalase activity did not differ in the two groups. Our findings revealed that As disrupts the thiol-disulfide homeostasis in favor of disulfide.

The Role of Thiol/Disulphide Homeostasis in Anthracycline Associated Cardiac Toxicity.
Topuz M1, Şen O, Kaplan M, Akkus O, Erel O, Gur M.
Author information
Abstract
The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether the baseline thiol/disulfide state can predict the occurrence of anthracycline induced cardiac toxicity. A total of 186 cancer patients receiving anthracycline (doxorubicin)-based chemotherapy were enrolled. All patients underwent 2-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) to determine their left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and blood samples for measuring thiol forms were obtained before treatment and 4 weeks after completion of the chemotherapy. The mean dose of doxorubicin exposure was 255 ± 39.2 mg/m2. Baseline native thiol was found to be lower whereas baseline disulfide and the disulfide/total thiol ratio were found to be higher in patients who had a decrease in LVEF after anthracycline therapy. Also, the amount of decrease in LVEF was well correlated with the delta value of the thiol forms. Logistic regression analysis revealed that changes in BNP and global longitudinal strain (GLS), baseline level of native thiol, disulfide, and the disulfide/total thiol ratio were strong predictors for a decrease in LVEF.The thiol/disulfide pathway may be a factor for predicting chemotherapy-induced cardiac toxicity as one of the oxidative stress mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to investigate dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis in autoimmune subclinical hypothyroidism.
METHODS:
Forty-eight patients with a new diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto thyroiditis who were not yet under medical therapy, and 48 healthy control subjects were enrolled. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis [native thiol-disulfide exchanges] was measured in both groups using the automated method developed by Erel and Neselioglu. An absolute difference of 0.5 between the total thiol and native thiol concentrations revealed the disulfide bond amount.
RESULTS:
The native thiol level (p = 0.014) and native thiol/total thiol ratio (p = 0.001) were lower in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism than in the control group. Meanwhile, the disulfide level (p = 0.004), disulfide/native thiol ratio (p = 0.001), and disulfide/total thiol (p = 0.001) ratio were higher in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism than in the control group. The antithyroid peroxidase and anti-thyroglobulin levels were positively correlated with the disulfide/native thiol ratio (r = 0.339, p = 0.019; r = 0.243, p = 0.023, respectively) and the disulfide/total thiol ratio (r = 0.133, p = 0.019; r = 0.238, p = 0.026, respectively) and negatively correlated with the native thiol/total thiol ratio (r = -0.292, p = 0.004; r = -0.233, p = 0.022, respectively).
CONCLUSION:
We found that thiol/disulfide homeostasis shifted to disulfide formation in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism and that thyroid autoantibodies were positively correlated with thiol oxidation. It is not clear whether abnormal thiol/disulfide homeostasis is a cause or a consequence in Hashimoto thyroiditis. Further studies are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
Maintaining of precise balance between oxidation and anti-oxidation is important in both physiological and pathological states. Knowledge about this balance may give an idea about the process of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis in patients with low-grade gliomas.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
Serial serum samples were collected in 13 patients operated on low-grade gliomas before and after surgery. Control serum samples were obtained from venous cord blood from 13 healthy women during cesarean section. Total thiol, native thiol, and disulfide bond formation were measured and compared with the controls.
RESULTS:
Total thiols, native thiols, and disulfide bond formation were significantly elevated in patients before the surgery compared to the controls (p<0.05). Even after the surgery, these three parameters were still high in patients, and the differences were significant (p<0.05). Although no significant difference was found between patients and controls regarding the ratios of disulfide/total thiol, disulfide/native thiol, and native thiol/total thiol (p>0.05), the balance seemed to shift to oxidative side.
CONCLUSIONS:
Thiol-disulfide homeostasis was disrupted in patients with low-grade gliomas, and oxidation may play a role in the process of this disease. Supplementation with antioxidants before and after surgery may be taken into consideration.

Abstract
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder that is caused by deficiency of branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Although accumulation of toxic metabolites is associated with neurotoxicity, mechanisms underlying brain damage remain unclear. Aim of this study is to evaluate thiol/disulphide homeostasis as a novel indicator of oxidative stress in MSUD patients under treatment. Twenty patients with MSUD and 20 healthy individuals were included in study. All patients were under regular follow-up and had a good metabolic control. Serum native thiol (-SH), total thiol (-SH + -S-S-), disulphide (-S-S) levels were measured in all subjects. Disulphide/native thiol, disulphide/total thiol and native thiol/total thiol ratios were calculated from these values. Simultaneous blood sampling for plasma quantitative amino acid analysis was performed in both groups. Any significant difference was not observed in -SH, -SH + -S-S-, -S-S levels between two groups. In addition no increase of disulphide/native thiol and disulphide/total thiol ratios was detected in patient group. This study is the first study that evaluates dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis as an indicator of oxidative stress in MSUD patients. Among previous studies that were made to determine oxidative stress in treated MSUD patients, this study had the largest sample size also. In recent studies, it was claimed that oxidative stress could be responsible from neurotoxicity even in treated patients. Here, dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis status showed that providing good metabolic control in MSUD patients prevent oxidative stress. Under regular follow-up and good compliance with diet, additional antioxidant therapies would possibly not be necessary.

Abstract
Considering that thiol-containing enzymes like kinases are critical for several metabolic pathways and energy homeostasis, we investigated the effects of cystine dimethyl ester and/or cysteamine administration on kinases crucial for energy metabolism in the kidney of Wistar rats. Animals were injected twice a day with 1.6 µmol/g body weight cystine dimethyl ester and/or 0.26 µmol/g body weight cysteamine from the 16th to the 20th postpartum day and euthanized after 12 hours. Pyruvate kinase, adenylate kinase, creatine kinase activities and thiol/disulfide ratio were determined. Cystine dimethyl ester administration reduced thiol/disulfide ratio and inhibited the kinases activities. Cysteamine administration increased the thiol/disulfide ratio and co-administration with cystine dimethyl ester prevented the inhibition of the enzymes. Regression between the thiol/disulfide ratio, and the kinases activities were significant. These results suggest that redox status may regulate energy metabolism in the rat kidney. If thiol-containing enzymes inhibition and oxidative stress occur in patients with cystinosis, it is possible that lysosomal cystine depletion may not be the only beneficial effect of cysteamine administration, but also its antioxidant and thiol-protector effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Thiol/disulfide homeostasis has an important role in the antioxidant defense system. Oxidative stress may contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery ectasia. The aim of this study was to evaluate plasma thiol levels and thiol/disulfide homeostasis in patients with isolated coronary artery ectasia.
METHODS:
Forty-one patients with isolated coronary artery ectasia and 72 patients with normal coronary arteries were included in the study. Markis classification and number of ectatic coronary arteries were recorded. Plasma total thiol levels, native thiol levels and disulfide levels were measured. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was appraised by calculating thiol/disulfide ratio.
RESULTS:
Plasma native thiol levels were significantly lower (336.9 (252.9-374.1) vs. 353.1 (327.0-380.0), p = 0.041) and disulfide levels were significantly higher (18.9 ± 6.3 vs. 16.6 ± 3.4, p = 0.014) in patients with coronary artery ectasia than control patients. Both native thiol/disulfide and total thiol/disulfide ratio was significantly lower in the coronary artery ectasia group (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that native thiol levels, disulfide levels and native thiol/disulfide ratio were independently associated with the presence of coronary artery ectasia. Thiol/disulfide ratio was not different according to number of ectatic coronary arteries and there was no association between thiol/disulfide ratio and Markis classification.
CONCLUSIONS:
Plasma thiol/disulfide homeostasis is altered in patients with coronary artery ectasia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To determine and evaluate the maternal serum thiol/disulfide homeostasis in pregnancies complicated by neural tube defects (NTD) via a novel method.
METHODS:
Seventy-three pregnant women with NTD (study group) and seventy-one healthy control pregnant women (control group) were included in the study. A new and fully automated method was used to measure plasma native thiol, total thiol and disulfide levels, based on the reduction of dynamic disulfide bonds to functional thiol groups by sodium borohydrate.
RESULTS:
The study and control groups were gestational age-matched. There were no statistical differences in demographic variables regarding age, gravidity, parity and body mass index. The serum native thiol levels (-SH) were 360.5 ± 50.3 and 353.3 ± 31.0 μmol/l in study and control groups, respectively, which was not statistically different (p = 0.308). The native thiol/total thiol, disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios were not statistically significantly different (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSION:
Our preliminary results show that maternal serum thiol/disulfide homeostatis does not change in pregnancies complicated by NTD. Larger further studies are required to evaluate the relation of oxidative stress and development of NTD.

Abstract
PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to compare dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostatic status in acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) patients by using a novel and automated assay determining dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis.
METHODS:
Fifty-one patients with acute CSCR (study group) and 65 healthy individuals (control group) were enrolled in this study. Diagnosis of acute CSCR was made clinically and using spectral-domain RTVue OCT (optical coherence tomography) (Optovue, Fremont, CA). Fluorescein angiography confirmed the diagnosis of acute CSCR in all subjects. Total thiol, native thiol, disulfide amount, and native thiol/disulfide ratio (TDR) were calculated in the blood samples.
RESULTS:
Mean total thiol, native thiol, and native TDR values were lower in patients with acute CSCR (364.2 ± 14.1, 326.4 ± 13.2, 17.14 ± 1.9, respectively) than in healthy eyes (441.2 ± 16.3, 398.5 ± 16.4, 22.70 ± 2.15, respectively; mean total thiol, p = 0.017; native thiol, p = 0.011; native TDR, p = 0.031).
CONCLUSIONS:
Total thiol, native thiol, and native TDR were significantly lower statistically in patients with acute CSCR when compared with healthy controls.

Abstract
PURPOSE::
We evaluated dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis (TDH), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and catalase (CAT) activity in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). All analyzes were conducted on plasma samples.
METHODS::
Thirty-two patients with AMD and 38 age-matched healthy controls were included. Native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide levels and TDH status were determined using a novel, automated assay. MDA levels and CAT activity were determined. Percentages were compared using the chi-squared test. The Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used to compare quantitative variables.
RESULTS::
Native thiol levels were significantly lower (p=0.004) in patients with AMD (272.02 ± 52.41 µmol/l) than in healthy individuals (307.82 ± 47.18 µmol/l), whereas disulfide levels were significantly higher (p<0.001) in patients with AMD than in controls (21.64 ± 5.59 vs. 14.48 ± 5.37 µmol/L). Dynamic TDH was also significantly lower (p<0.001) in patients with AMD than in controls (13.41 ± 4.3 vs. 25.41 ± 14.52 µmol/l). No significant differences were evident in total thiol or MDA levels. Mean CAT activity was significantly higher (p=0.043) in patients with AMD compared with controls (0.035 vs. 0.018 k/ml).
CONCLUSIONS::
The antioxidant/oxidant balance demonstrated by dynamic TDH is shifted to the oxidative side in patients with AMD.
