| Popis: | Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the levels/activities of antioxidants and lipid peroxidation in the blood of subjects that consumed palm wine on regular bases. Subjects and Methods: Sixty-four male volunteers between the ages of 30-70years were recruited for the study. The subjects were those that visited palm wine vendor outlet on regular basis at least for a minimum duration of 5 years, with daily intake of 80-160 gm of palm wine at a sitting for a minimum of 3 to 4 days per week. Plasma activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT); plasma concentration of total antioxidant status (TAS), Malonyldialdehyde ((MDA), selenium (Se) and erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity were determined. Results: The plasma activity of γ-GT and marker of lipid peroxidation (MDA) were significantly increased in subjects compared to the controls p |
