Comparative Analysis Of Levels Of Some An1ioxidant Enzymes And Lipid Peroxidation (Mda) In Male And Female Undergraduates Of Michael Okpara University Of Agriculture Umudike
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare the levels of some
antioxidants in male and female undergraduates of MOUAU. Blood samples were
collected from 90 students and were divided into two groups: male and female.
The analysis was carried out to know the levels of the antioxidants, superoxide
dismutase (SOI)'), catalase (CAl) and malondialdehyde (MDA) using the method of
wallin et al 1983 for malondialdehyde, catalase level was done according to the
method of Aebi (1983) and the superoxide dismutase level was determined using
the method Xin et al (1991). From the result, it was observed that no
significance (P> 0.05) was shown when the catalase level is being compared
between male and female undergraduates of MOUA1J. It was still observed that no
significance (P> 0.05) was shown when the malondialdehyde level is being
compared between males and females of MOUAU. It is observed that there is
significance (P < 0.05) shown when the superoxide dismutase level is
compared between male and female undergraduates o[ MOUAU. This study shows the
great importance of superoxide dismutase and catalase in the elimination of
free radicals from the body as well as the importance of malondialdehyde which
is a biomarker of lipid peroxidation in the body.
