Antioxidant status in children with homozygous thalassemia

The status of enzymatic and non-enzymatic anti-oxidants was evaluated in 41 patients with transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia. An additional 20 age-matched children, with non-hemolytic anemia, served as controls. Fresh blood samples, obtained in the morning, were processed immediately. Plasma was...

description The status of enzymatic and non-enzymatic anti-oxidants was evaluated in 41 patients with transfusion dependent beta-thalassemia. An additional 20 age-matched children, with non-hemolytic anemia, served as controls. Fresh blood samples, obtained in the morning, were processed immediately. Plasma was stored at -80 degrees C. Levels of vitamins A and E were assayed simultaneously by HPLC. RBC vitamin A was not measurable in 29 (70.7%) thalassemics and in all the controls. Plasma vitamin A levels were lower in thalassemics than in controls (p

The mean level of RBC vitamin E was 3 times lower in thalassemics. Similarly, SOD enzyme activity in thalassemics, was at least 1.5 lower in comparison to the activity documented in controls (p&lt;0. 05).
