Abstract:
Objective To explore the changes and clinical significance of plasma redox status in patients with acute myocardial infarction,angina pectoris and people with normal coronary artery.Methods According to the clinical manifestation,electrocardiograms and the myocardium markers,68 acute myocardial infarction patients (group A) were involved.68 angina pectoris patients (group B) and 68 normal coronary artery people (group C) were also chosen according to the coronary artery radiographs.Peripheral venous blood of 3 groups were collected.Plasma glutathione (reduced form GSH and oxidized form GSSG) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form NADPH and oxidized form NADP+) were detected.The GSH/GSSG and NADPH/NADP+ redox potentials were calculated according to Nernst equation.Results Along with the pathological aggravation of coronary artery (from group C to group A),the levels of GSH [(8.39±1.03)μmol/L,(6.54±0.94) μmol/L,(4.49±0.86) μmol/L,respectively] and GSH/GSSG (14.22±2.14,9.76±1.67,5.76±1.18,respectively) were gradually reduced; the levels of GSSG [(0.59±0.03) μmol/L,(0.67±0.04) μmol/L,(0.78 ± 0.05) μmol/L,respectively] and GSH/GSSG redox potential [(-150.43±3.43) mV,(-141.22±3.12) mV,(-135.21±2.31) mV,respectively] were gradually increased (all P＜ 0.05); the changes of NADPH/NADP+ redox status were similar to GSH/GSSG but milder.Conclusions The imbalance of plasma redox status deviating to oxidation has a relationship with atheromatous plaque formation,plaque rupture and plaque thrombosis in the coronary artery.
