The aim of this study was to evaluate the thiol-disulfide homeostasis and oxidative stress levels in patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The study found that ROP patients had lower levels of total antioxidant status (TAS) and higher levels of total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) compared to patients without ROP. The study also revealed that ROP patients are highly sensitive to oxidative stress.
PurposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate both dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis and oxidative stress (OS) levels in patients with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).MethodsA total of 129 infants of <34 weeks gestational age were enrolled in the present study. The thiol-disulfide homeostasis was determined by using the new, cost-effective and fully automated colorimetric method. Total antioxidant status (TAS), Total oxidant status (TOS) and Oxidative stress index (OSI) levels were evaluated.ResultsWe found serum TAS levels were lower while serum TOS and OSI levels were significantly higher in patients with ROP compare to the without ROP group (p < .05). However, native, total and disulfide values were not statistically significant between the groups (p > .05). In addition, we also evaluated the native, total and disulfide levels in patients with ROP according to grades and no statistically significant results were found (p > .05). Low birth weight (p = .001), gestational age (p = .001) and 5-min Apgar score were significantly lower in the ROP group.ConclusionThis study revealed that dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis was changed in patients with ROP. Increased TOS and decreased TAS levels may be associated with functional reduction of the antioxidant system due to increased OS. This indicate that ROP patients are highly sensitive to OS. The dynamic thiol-disulfide homeostasis may conduce to the pathophysiological mechanism and disease follow-up in patients with ROP. The results of this study show that ROP patients are highly sensitive to oxidative stress.
