[Antioxidant enzymes in skin experimental burn trauma]
Abstract:
The effect of experimental burn trauma (20%) on myeloperoxidase (MPO) and antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPO), glutathione-S-transferase (GST)) was studied in unburned skin, epidermis (20 mm from the burned area) and the wound tissue of rats. The most common features were the increase of MPO on the 1st day and a delayed increase of GPO and GST after the 4th day. The additional operations (necrectomy) and lipopolysaccharide administration induced marked inflammatory reaction in skin and epidermis (evaluated by the increase in MPO and GPO/GST activities).

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
