Serum Prolidase Activity, Oxidant and Antioxidant Status in Nonulcer Dyspepsia and Healthy Volunteers

Table 3

Representation of correlation of serum prolidase activity and TAOC, TOS, and OSI for the cases, control-1, and control-2. Correlation coefficients of ≤0.01 are considered as significant correlation. Negative sign for correlation coefficients indicated that serum prolidase activity increased with decrease in TAOC in cases, control-1, and control-2, while positive values indicated that serum prolidase activity increased with increase in TOS and OSI in respective cases, control-1, and control-2. In our above correlation study, all correlations have non-significant values.
