Abstract

Background: Arterial stiffness is related with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease events. Patientswith atherosclerotic disease show to have larger diameters, reduced arterial compliance and lower flowvelocities.Aim of study : To compare between patients of two age groups with concomitant diseases diabetes andhypertension in regard to intima media thickness and blood flow characteristics in order to estimate theblood perfusion to the brain via the common and internal carotid arteries.Subject and Methods : 40 patients with (diabetic and hypertension) diseases were enrolled , they wereclassified according to age. Color Doppler and B mode ultrasound was used to determine lumen Diameter(D), Intima – media thickness (IMT), end diastolic velocity (EDV), peak systolic velocity (PSV), ResistiveIndex (RI), Pulsatility Index (PI), and the flow rate indices were calibrated and calculated .Results:- Results show that the change in the lumen diameter between the old patients group and the youngergroup were (2.02%) with insignificant (p value >0.05), and the difference in the in intima-media (IMT)thickness between the two age groups (35- 55) and (56-75) are (33.8%) with significant (p value <0.05).The change difference in peak systolic velocity was (-13.29% ) with insignificant (p value >0.05), while thedifference in the (EDV) between both age groups was (-38.02%), with significant p value <0.05. Pressuregradient and flow rate have given insignificant difference between both age groups.Conclusion: The intima media is significantly thicker for the old age group than in the younger group. Theincreased thickness of intima media did not influence the lumen diameter significantly. A clear change inPSV, EDV, RI, and PI was observed which have influenced blood perfusion to the brain.

Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress might participate in the pathophysiology of diabetes type 2. Systems of nonenzymatic antioxidants are made up of scavenging molecules that are formed endogenously.The Study Objective: This study’s aims were evaluation of the non-enzymatic antioxidants and their effectin levels of glucose among diabetic patients.Methodology: A total of eighty patients with DM type 2 and forty healthy persons (control) were enrolledwithin this study. Serum and plasma were obtained from collected blood samples. The Ferric ReducingAbility of Plasma (FRAP) method was used for detection of the total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Ellman’smethod was used to determine the level of reduced glutathione. The serum CAT activity was detected by thetechnique explained by Sinha.Results: The findings revealed that, among diabetic groups, there was a significant elevation in glycosylatedhemoglobin and glucose levels; HbA1c and FBG levels were significantly higher; MDA, NO, LPI, TAC andGSH showed significant greater values. The activity of SOD showed significantly greater mean value amongthe control group.Conclusion: The results suggest that antioxidants defense might be decreased in T2DM, as TAC levelswere decreased. The increased levels of MDA, NO, LPI, TAC and GSH were associated with oxidativestress. Assessment of GSH could help in recognition of the extent of oxidative stress in diabetes as well asprevention and control of diabetic complications.

Abstract

Antioxidants are a line of defense that protects the cells of the body. Attacking the stray oxygen molecules.The function of these antioxidant is to add a group of electrons to the blood vessels to give them toelectrolytes or monovalent free radicals so that they stabilize and calm down and do not destroy cells. Thus,antioxidants work to achieve a balance between free radicals and antioxidants In the cell and keeps the cellfrom being damaged. Increased electrolytes or free radicals work To weaken the ability of antioxidants’ andenzymes secreted by cells despite the fact that the cell has a self-protection and a defensive line to secreteself-antioxidants, and here the importance of antioxidants arises. These metabolic changes increase theoxidative effort and affect the ability to achieve and the efficiency of athletes, as well as the body containsa lot of antioxidant systems Oxidative stress that includes enzymes such as GSH) Glutathione Dos) Superoxide D ismutses. Exercise can produce an imbalance between ROS and antioxidants, which is referredto as oxidative stress. Dietary antioxidant supplements are marketed to and used by athletes as a meansto counteract the oxidative stress of exercise. Whether strenuous exercise does, in fact, increase the needfor additional antioxidants in the diet is not clear. This research showed the role of free radicals in causingoxidative stress during exercise. The results showed significant increased in malondialdehyde (MDA) level(as an index of lipid peroxidation) glutathione (GSH) superoxide dismuatse activity (SOD) in subjects afterefforts of exercise in comparison with the control group.
