Prolidase Activity, TAC, and LPO Levels of the Patients with COPD and Controls
COPD (n=30) | Control (n=30) | P | |
---|---|---|---|
Prolidase (U/l) | 30.8±4.9 | 39.5±9.1 | <0.05 |
TAC (mmol Trolox Eq./l) | 1.58±0.11 | 1.68±0.19 | <0.001 |
LPO (µmol/l) | 72±11 | 35±7 | <0.001 |
Values are expressed as mean±SD; TAC, total antioxidant capacity; LPO, lipid peroxidation.
