Plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in obese Malaysian subjects.

摘要: Introduction There is a pressing need to better understand the complex biochemical pathways that lead pathogenesis of obesity. Increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant capacity have been identified be associated with Therefore, objectives this study were determine plasma total (TAC) levels Malaysian subjects evaluate its potential association obesity related anthropometric measurements. Methods Plasma TAC 362 multi-ethnic from Kampar Health Clinic (138 males, 224 females; 124 ethnic Malays, 152 Chinese, 86 Indians; 192 non-obese, 170 obese) was measured using Trolox equivalent (TEAC) 96-well plate assay. Results significantly lower in obese (M +/- SE = 292 10.4 micromol/L) compared non-obese (397 8.58 micromol/L), whereas it higher males those 21-30 age group. Those salty food preference practising strict vegetarian diet also had TAC. However, no found for other dietary habits (coffee intake) lifestyle factors (physical activity, smoking). negatively correlated diastolic blood pressure, waist hip circumferences, weight, body mass index, fat, % subcutaneous visceral fat level, resting metabolism skeletal muscle. Conclusion obesity, practice, all indicators, except systolic pressure pulse rate. Obese people indicating compromised systemic defence increased stress.
