Antioxidant Status and MDA level in AMI and Control.

Variables	Control (N=60)	Cases of AMI (N=60)
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) (unita mg/serum protein)	9.33 ± 0.28	8.92 ± 0.06*
Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (unitb mg/serum protein)	57.16 ± 0.32	49.18 ± 0.39*
Malondialdehyde (MDA)(μM/l)	1.21 ± 0.06	1.49 ± 0.11*

^a One unit of activity was taken as the enzyme reaction, which gave 50% inhibition of NBT reduction in one minute.

^b Nanomole of NADPH Oxidized per minute.
