Evaluation of serum malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels in patients with cystic echinococcosis

WOS: 000443445900003The aim of current study was to investigate the difference in the serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Nitric oxide (NO) levels between healthy individuals and patients with Cystic echinococcosis (CE). CE patients (201 person) and healthy individuals (160 person) as control group were included in this study. Their MDA and NO levels were measured by using spectrophotometric methods. MDA and NO levels were statistically significantly higher in the CE patients group than the healthy group (p < 0.05). The results indicate that oxidative stress may have increased in CE patients as a consequence of immune response of the host. Considering results of this study, new approaches that related antioxidant therapies can be developing with further studies in the diagnosis, control and treatment of CE disease
