ABSTRACT

Objective To study the differences in serum antioxidant ion status of adults living in different regions and relat-ed influential factors.Methods Serum levels of total antioxidation capacity(TAOC),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malon-dialdehyde(MDA)were determined in37local residents in Xinjiang(Xinjiang group)and37Tianjin residents(Tianjin group).Results Serum levels of TAOC and SOD were significantly higher in the Xinjiang group than that in the Tianjin group(P0.05)for the MDA between the two groups.The TAOC levels were sig-nificantly higher in the females than that in the males(P
