Total antioxidant capacity in plasma of HIV-infected patients
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of fasting EDTA plasma of 33 healthy and 64 HIV-infected patients was determined using H(2)O(2)-peroxidase-ABTS technique. The results revealed that the average TAC in HIV-infected patients was significantly lower than those in healthy normal persons. (0.161 +/- 0.09...

This paper suggests that prediction of severity and monitoring of the disease should be performed by determining both total lymphocyte count and total antioxidant capacity. 2014-08-29T09:02:11Z 2014-08-29T09:02:11Z 1997 Journal Article 0125-2208 9347658 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3502482 http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/handle/6653943832/829 eng |
