摘要: This study evaluated serum melatonin levels in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and compared the results to lipid peroxidation by determining thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC). The group studied was composed of 15 SCA 24 subjects without hemoglobinopathies. average level significantly reduced (p<0.001) when control group. showed higher values for TBARS TEAC obtained (p<0.001 p<0.01). Results from correlation analysis were not statistically significant any parameters except levels, which had a positive (r=0.51; p=0.04), suggesting participation defense. use could be possible therapeutic target improving defense reduce oxidative damage, alleviating symptoms associated SCA.
