Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidant Status in Patients with Diabetic Retinopathy
Abstract : Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus is responsible for
60% cases of retinopathy in the population and is one of the common
cause of blindness. Oxidative stress as measured by the levels of
malondialdehyde, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase
(GPx) and vitamin C was measured in 50 normal controls, 40 diabetics
without complications, 22 diabetics with proliferative and 20 with
nonproliferative retinopathy respectively. Our finding suggests that lipid
peroxidation increases (P
