ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Pan Masala containing Tobacco (PMT) use contributes significantly to the overall world tobacco burden especially in south Asian country like Nepal. Oxidative stress caused by it may leads to cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, etc. Therefore, this work proposes to study the antioxidant and oxidative stress along with cardiovascular morbidity in PMT users.RESULTS:
Hundred PMT users and 80 non-user controls with age and sex matched were enrolled. There was a significant difference in blood pressure, albumin, uric acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, malondialdehyde (MDA), total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol between the two groups (p < 0.001). We observed statistically significant (p < 0.001) decrease in antioxidant and increase oxidative stress in PMT users. Duration and quantity of PMT user were significantly associated with the MDA level.Palavras-chave
