Among inflammatory mediators, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases through oxidative stress for which protein carbonyl (PC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) are two important markers.Methods: We utilized PC and TAC in this study to compare the serum redox status of PV and BP patients with healthy subjects to investigate the possible ro %U https://www.iranjd.ir/article_98271_2cd5af3ddbc8846646a14616776d6b41.pdf
