Objective: It is aimed to investigate the underlying causes of thalassemia, which has widespread and negative effects around the world, and to create solutions. For this purpose, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels of thalassemia patients were investigated in our study.
Methods: In our study, experimental and control groups were formed with 40 people in each group. The experimental group consisted of patients with thalassemia followed up at Siirt Training and Research Hospital, and the control group consisted of healthy individuals who came for routine control. After informing the participants in the research and taking their consent, their blood was taken. In serum samples taken from participants in the research, catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, enzyme activities and malondialdehyde, Vitamins A, E, C, cytokines, total oxidant capacity, and total antioxidant capacity levels were measured. Analyzes were performed on ELISA and HPLC instruments using appropriate kits. The data were analyzed in the IBM SPSS 21.0 statistical package program.
Results: When the results were examined, it was seen that thalassemia patients had lower antioxidant levels and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine levels compared to the control group.
Conclusion: It is possible to say that thalassemia is effective on cytokine and oxidant systems. These harmful effects can be eliminated with food supplements or drugs to be used. We believe that this study will shed light on the preparation of more comprehensive and new treatment protocols in the future.
