Measuring the levels of Malondialdehyde, glutathione and nitric oxide in sera of men blood donors infected with toxoplasmosis

Abstract EN

To estimate the oxidative stress status in patients with toxoplasmosis, 150 blood samples obtained from donors men of blood bank in Baghdad aged (18-55) years.

Twenty three volunteers were positive for anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG,IgM antibodies were evaluated by using ELISA (kit).

Twenty normal healthy men of comparable age were considered as normal control.

The results showed that the men infected with toxoplasma causes significant elevation of Serum malondialdehyde (MDA), and Nitric oxide (NO) levels compared with normal healthy control, while Serum glutathione (GSH) level for patients group was decreased significantly as compared with normal healthy group
