Cigarette smokes produce a large number of oxidants and promote secretion of ferritin by alveolar macrophages which are potential to encourage the lipid peroxidation. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is used as a parameter of lipid peroxidation. The study was aimed to evaluate the relationship between blood level of vitamin A and ferritin and MDA among Javanese male smokers. Sixty men who lived in Purwore…
Previous experiments show ed that curcumin analogue (PGV-1) inhibited breast cancer cell (T47D) growth at G2-M phase and induced cell apoptosis. This experiment was conducted to investigate the molecular effect of another curcumin analogue, PGV-0 and curcumin on the cell cycle progression and apoptosis as compared to the PGV-I. Flowcytometric method was conducted to analyze the effect of PGV- 1…

Background: Over the last 10 years, we have investigated thalassemia patients in Jakarta to obtain a comprehensive picture of iron overload, oxidative stress, and cell damage. Methods: In blood samples from 15 transfusion-dependent patients (group T), 5 non-transfused patients (group N) and 10 controls (group C), plasma lipids and lipoproteins, lipid-soluble vitamin E, malondialdehyde (MDA) …
