Oxidative Stress in Iron Deficiency Anemia
Journal Title: Saudi Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract:Iron deficiency anemia is widely prevalent nutritional disorder worldwide, resulting in oxidative stress which in turn leads to cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus and ageing. Oxidative stress and iron levels were studied in 84 subjects, 36 of whom were anemic (Hb <11 gm/dl) and 48 healthy subjects who were taken as controls. In these subjects serum iron, Total Antioxidant Capacity, superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde levels were estimated. In the present study it was found that anemic subjects had higher oxidative stress as compared to controls and female anemia subjects were more affected than males. Preventive action may help in reducing the morbidities caused by the oxidative stress. Keywords:
