Antioxidants are essential elements in reducing the harmful effects of free radicals. The aim of this study was to compare the serum levels of total antioxidant before and after adenotonsillectomy procedure.
This study was conducted on 41 children with the age range 3-12 who underwent adenotonsillectomy. The total level of antioxidants was measured before and two months after adenotonsillectomy.
The mean±SD level of serum antioxidants raised significantly from 11.17 (15.36) before surgery to 22.19 (10.87) IU/mL after surgery (P<0.001). The mean value was increased from 15.50 (17.97) to 24.89 (12.66) and 6.62 (10.67) to 19.36 (7.98) IU/ml among males and females, respectively.
Adenotonsillectomy can efficiently increase the serum levels of total antioxidant among children with adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Moreover, it can improve the immune system against free radicals.
抗氧化剂是减少自由基有害影响的关键元素。本研究旨在比较腺样体扁桃体切除术前和术后血清总抗氧化剂水平。
本研究对41例年龄在3至12岁接受腺样体扁桃体切除术的儿童进行。在腺样体扁桃体切除术前和术后两个月测量抗氧化剂的总水平。
血清抗氧化剂的平均±标准差水平从手术前的11.17(15.36)显著提高到手术后的22.19(10.87)IU/mL(P<0.001)。男性的平均值从15.50(17.97)增加到24.89(12.66),女性从6.62(10.67)增加到19.36(7.98)IU/ml。
腺样体扁桃体切除术可有效提高腺样体扁桃体肥大儿童的血清总抗氧化剂水平。此外,它可以改善免疫系统抵抗自由基的能力。
