Abstract
In ischaemic heart conditions we report a remarkable increase in platelet xanthine oxidase activity and rise in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) with concomitant decrease in the activities of free radical scavenging enzymes - superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. The increased levels of free radical generating system and MDA and lowered levels of free radical scavenging systems seem to have critical role in ischaemic heart conditions.Entities:
