Relationship between Higher Atherogenic Index of Plasma and Oxidative Stress of a Group of Patients Living with Sickle Cell Anemia in Cameroon

Table 4

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 ± 1.4^a	1.39 ± 0.6^ab	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 ± 0.1^b	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 ± 0.1^bc	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 . GsH = reduced glutathione, SOD = superoxide dismutase, FRAP = ferric reducing antioxidant power, MDA = malondialdehyde, CAT = catalase, and GPx = glutathione peroxidase.
