Malondialdehyde

Aqueous Root Extract of Piliostigma thonningii Modulates the Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes and Lipid Levels in Paracetamol-Induced Damage in Rabbits

Paracetamol is notorious for causing liver damage due to excessive generation of free radicals due to overdose ingestion. The body has an antioxidant system comprising enzymes and non-enzymes, which help to mop up free radicals generated.

Survival Rate, Total Antioxidant Capacity and Malondialdehyde in Drosophila melanogaster Exposed to Bronze Borne Soil Samples in Benin City, South-South Nigeria

Drosophila melanogaster serves as an important research model organism in the fields of genetics and developmental biology. Recent studies have indicated the use of Drosophila in a number of other studies such as metabolic, nanotoxicological and immunological studies. Rearing of fly in the laboratory condition is an important task to work with this organism. To maintain the growth and development of the flies where the components of the food play important roles, this is done by mixing the compounds with fly food in proper concentration.

Association of Total Antioxidant Capacity Status and Malondialdehyde with C-Reactive Protein Levels in Bronze Foundry Workers in Benin City, South-South, Nigeria

Occupational exposure to bronze borne toxicant is entirely unregulated in many countries. The foundry industry is known to contain a lot of toxic metals and the exposure of foundry workers to these metals may result in prooxidant/antioxidant imbalance and can act as an intermediate in the formation of an oxidative stress state. This aim of this study was to investigate the levels of total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde and C-reactive protein among bronze foundry workers in Benin City, South-South Nigeria.
