ANTIOXIDANT STATUS IN NEONATAL JAUNDICE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOTHERAPY
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry - Year 2006, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
Phototherapy has been related to increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In the present study, thirty full term jaundiced neonates with appropriate weight were analyzed before and after completion of phototherapy for malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), total thiols, vitamin C and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in hemolysate and albumin levels in plasma. These parameters were analyzed in cord blood samples of 20 healthy neonates as control. It was observed that levels of MDA were elevated significantly (p
