TY - JOUR ID - TI - A Biochemical Study for Evaluation of Some Cellular Oxidation parameters in Sera Samples of Gastrointestinal Tumors AU - Rasha Hasan Jasim AU - Hadeer Haider Abdualameer PY - 2020 VL - 2 IS - 6 SP - 61 EP - 78 JO - JOURNAL OF KUFA FOR CHEMICAL SCIENCES مجلة الكوفة لعلوم الكيمياء SN - 20772351 AB - During the period from the beginning of December 2018 to the end of May 2019, 108 resident of Babylon were included to participate in the current study, were divided into two main groups: 81 patients with GIT diseases, their age ranged from 12-80 years; and the controls group (27 individuals) with the age 17-71 years old. Furthermore, the patient group was divided into two subgroups, the first involved 51patients with GIT tumors and the other with non-tumoral diseases of GIT (30 individuals suffered non tumoral GIT illness were enrolled as a pathological control group). Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Nitric Oxide (NO), Oxidized Glutathione (GSSG), and Total Glutathione (T-GSH)) were evaluated in the sera samples of the study groups. The current study revealed statistical significant increase in the levels of SOD. Results of the present study illustrate that approximately 73% of malignant GIT tumors showed a statistically significant positive relationship (p < 0.05) when SOD and NO correlated together. On the other hand, a significant negative correlation (r = - 0.582 at p < 0.05, r = - 0.681 at p <0.05) when the levels of SOD with GSSG as well as T-GSH in the malignant GIT tumors patients were correlated, respectively. About 86% of patients with cancerous GIT tumors showed a negative correlation when the levels of NO and T-GSH were compared together (at p = 0.002).
