Tumour necrosis factor α, lipid peroxidation and NO• are increased and associated with decreased free-radical scavenging enzymes in patients with Weill-Marchesani syndrome
Abstract/OtherAbstract :
AIM: Weill-Marchesani syndrome (WMS) is a rare systemic disorder with both autosomal recessive and dominant inheritances. Accumulation of reactive oxygen species such as O2⋅-, H2O2 and OH• causes lipid peroxidation (LPO), whereas antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx)) mediate defence against oxidative stress. Excess tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and NO• react with O2⋅- and cause further antioxidant depletion with an increase in mutation frequency by H2O2. This study investigated the levels of SOD, GSHPx, catalase (CAT), TNF-α, NO• and LPO in patients with WMS.
