Serum oxidative stress levels in patients with nasal septal deviation. Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 55(3), 125-128.2149-3987https://hdl.handle.net/11491/3186researchObjective: Comparison of the total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and paraoxonase (PON1) serum levels in patients with nasal septum deviation (NSD) and healthy subjects.Methods: The TAS, TOS, and PON1 serum levels of 47 patients with NSD (mean age 35.3) and 50 healthy subjects (mean age 37.8) were compared in this study.Results: We found significantly higher TAS levels in the control group (p<0.001). The mean TAS value was 1.196 mmoL/L in the control group, whereas it was 1.046 mmoL/L in the NSD group. On the other hand, TOS was significantly higher in the NSD group (p<0.001). We found that the mean TOS value was 6.600 mmoL/L in the control group, and 20.194 mmoL/L in the NSD group. The NSD and control groups had similar PON1 levels (p=0.446). The mean PON1 value was 279.64 U/L in the control group, and 324.21 U/L in the NSD group. Conclusion: We detected higher TOS and lower TAS levels in patients with NSD compared to healthy subjects. These results indicate that patients with NSD are exposed to oxidative stress.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNasal ObstructionNasal Septum DeviationTotal Oxidant StatusTotal Antioxidant StatusParaoxonaseArticle55312512810.5152/tao.2017.2494N/A
