The Oxidative Status and Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase Activity in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Case Control Study

Table 2

Level of oxidative stress markers and ATPase activity in the study population.

Marker	Patients	Controls	value
Na^+/K^+-ATPase activity (nmol phosphorous liberated/mg protein/h)			<0.0001
MDA serum (nmol/L)			<0.0001
MDA RBC Membrane (nmol/mg of protein)			0.002
TAC (μmol/L)			0.190
GSH (μmol/L)			0.306
Vitamin A (μmol/L)			0.001
Vitamin E (μmol/L)			0.024
HDL (mg/dL)			0.736
LDL (mg/dL)			0.261
Cholesterol (mg/dL)			0.216
Triacylglycerol (mg/dL)			0.018

MDA: malondialdehyde; GSH: glutathione; TAC: total antioxidant capacity; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein. Data are presented as . value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
