Effects of Antioxidant Therapy on Leukocyte Myeloperoxidase and Cu/Zn-Superoxide Dismutase and Plasma Malondialdehyde Levels in Experimental Colitis

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and L-carnitine (LCAR) supplementations on polymorphonuclear leukocytes myeloperoxidase (MPO) and Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) in acetic acid (AA)-induced ulcerative colitis...
