Evaluation of Lipid Peroxide and Superoxide Dismutase in Burn Patients
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present study an attempt has been made to estimate serum lipid peroxide and serum superoxide dismutase enzyme in the burn patients as burn is not a normal condition in which above balance remains same as in health. The present study has been conducted on 50 burn subjects (22 males and 28 females) of either sex or varying ages having varying degree of burn injury, admitted in the Surgical/Burn ward of J.L.N. Hospital, Ajmer. The results were compared with 25 normal age matched healthy subject of either sex (10 males and 15 females). In the present study significant rise in the level of SOD activity was observed in burn subjects as compared to control subjects. Similarly significant rise in the MDA concentration “a marker of lipid peroxidation” was also observed in burn subjects as compared to control subjects. There was no statistically significant variation in the SOD activity and MDA concentration when the results were compared sex wise in control group and burn subjects. The male subjects of burn group had significantly high SOD activity and MDA concentration as compared as compared to male subjects of control group. Similar trend was observed in female burn subjects and female control subjects. Serum SOD activity and MDA concentration increases in burn subjects as the percentage degree of burn injury increases.
