Abstract

Various psychological, social, genetic and biochemical factors are thought to be involved in etiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). To the best of our knowledge there are no studies investigating the effects of free radicals in children and adolescents with OCD. This study evaluated total oxidant and antioxidant status, oxidative stress index, and arylesterase and paraoxonase activity in children and adolescents with OCD. The study included 28 patients diagnosed with OCD and 36 healthy children as an age- and sex-matched control group. Their serum total oxidant status (TOS) and total antioxidant status (TAS) were measured and the oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. Although serum TOS and OSI values in the OCD patients were significantly higher than those in the control group (p = 0.008, p < 0.001, respectively), TAS and paraxonase activity were significantly lower ( p < 0.001 for both). However, no statistically significant difference in arylesterase activity was found (p > 0.05). The increase in oxidative status and decrease in antioxidants in patients with OCD demonstrate that oxidative stress may have an important role in the pathophysiology of the disease. It has been suggested that drugs that contain antioxidants should be added to conventional pharmacotherapy during follow-up.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
