Increased
oxidative stress has been suggested as an early event in the development of the
metabolic syndrome and, as such, might contribute to disease progression.
The aim of de present study was
to evaluate Total Antioxidant Status and endogenous
antioxidant enzymes in metabolic syndrome patients after consumption of a
citrus-based juice compared with control groups.
Before, and at
sixth month after treatment the following parameters were determined: Total
Antioxidant Status, Superoxide Dismutase, Glutathione Peroxidase and
Glutathione Reductases.
