Relation between atherogenic plasmatic index and markers of oxidative stress.
| Atherogenic plasmatic index | MDA (µM) | SOD (UI/mg protein) | GsH (µM) | GPx (UI/mg protein) | FRAP (µM) | CAT (UI/mg protein) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low (n = =51) | 0.02 ± 1.4a | 1.39 ± 0.6ab | 4.21 ± 2.1 | 0.60 ± 0.3 | 280.96 ± 7.3 | 1.33 ± 0.3 |
| Moderate (n = =15) | 1.21 ± 1.1 b | 0.85 ± 0.1b | 3.54 ± 1.3 | 0.52 ± 0.1 | 263.36 ± 10.0 | 1.14 ± 0.6 |
| High (n = =19) | 1.46 ± 1.0 b | 0.63 ± 0.1bc | 3.79 ± 1.8 | 0.56 ± 0.1 | 244.45 ± 7.0 | 1.11 ± 0.3 |
Results are expressed as mean ± SD. Values subscripted with different letters are significantly different in the same column ∗p < 0.05. GsH = reduced glutathione, SOD = superoxide dismutase, FRAP = ferric reducing antioxidant power, MDA = malondialdehyde, CAT = catalase, and GPx = glutathione peroxidase.
