Changes in Oxidative Stress Parameters and Antioxidant Status in Lung Cancer: Western Blot Analysis of Nitrotyrosine and Protein Carbonyls Content

Abstract

Introduction: The source of many diseases, including tumors, lies in an increased generation of reactive oxygen species resulting in oxidative stress. We investigated the relationships between advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), nitrotyrosine (NT), protein carbonyls (PCO) content, and the prooxidant-antioxidant balance (PAB) in patients with lung cancer.
