Table 1.

Alterations in the levels of markers of oxidative stress and of antioxidant enzymes in intestine biopsies, blood and urine from celiac subjects (↑ increase; ↓ decrease).

Intestine (intestinal biopsies) ↑ level of lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH)
↓ reduced glutathione (GSH) levels
↓ glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity
↓ glutathione reductase (GR) activity
↑ superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity
↓ paraoxonase-1 (PON1) and paraoxonase-3 (PON3) expression
↑ inducible-nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression
Blood (plasma and blood cells) ↑ lipid hydroperoxides (LOOH) level in plasma
↑ thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances levels in plasma and lipoproteins
↑ carbonyl groups levels in plasma
↑ 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA in leukocytes
↑ NO metabolite levels plasma
↑ nitrotyrosine levels in plasma
↓ reduced glutathione levels in plasma
↑ blood superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity
↓ blood glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity
↓ blood glutathione reductase (GR) activity
↓ alpha-tocopherol levels in plasma and in erythrocytes
↓ plasma ascorbic acid levels
↓ plasma retinol levels
Urine ↑ 8-hydroxyguanosine (8-oxodG) in DNA metabolite levels
