Alterations in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in different types of intracranial tumors within their relative peritumoral tissues

Abstract

Objectives: Elevated levels of lipid peroxidation and changes in the concentration of enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant systems have been reported in various cancers, but there are very few reports available of lipid peroxidation due to oxidative stress in patients with intracranial neoplasms. The purpose of this study was to assess alterations in lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in different types of tumors and to compare the results with their relative peritumoral tissues and compare the oxidative status in different grades of tumors.
