Abstract
Cigarette smokers demonstrate elevated oxidative stress (OXS) levels and increased pro-inflammatory cytokines. In this study, Relationships between serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) were examined in smoker men. For this purpose, venous blood samples (5ml) were collected from sedentary smoker males aged (41.8 ± 4.36) after an overnight fast (K 12 h) between 8:30 and 9:30 AM. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to determine the association between CRP and TAC. A P-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Data analyses showed that CRP is negatively related with TAC in studied subjects. Based on these data, we can say systemic inflammation is associated with stress oxidative in smoking.
