Effect of smoking Arkela or Al-shesha on the antioxidant in human body

Abstract

The research involved collected (50) sample from serum of Arkela smokers and (50) sample control for period from 15/10/2013 to 15/3/2014 and the age between(15-60)year for men only then determination of some antioxidant (Glutathione, Ceruloplasmin, Vitamin E and C, Malondialdehyde) in serum of Arkela smokers compared with non smokers, the results demonstrated a significant increase in the level of Ceruloplasmin and Malondialdehyde concentration and a significant decrease in the level of Glutathione and Vitamin E and C concentration in smokers compared with control. The results also demonstrated a non-significant change in the level of antioxidant concentration of Arkela smokers with age groups and Body Mass Index BMI. While the results demonstrated a significant decrease in the level of Glutathione and Vitamin E and C and a significant increase in the level of Ceruloplasmin and Malondialdehyde in serum blood smokers (more than two hours) in the day and (more than two years) compared with smokers in (less from hour)in the day and (1-11 months) respectively.
