Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of catalase(CAT),superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione system on the coronary heart disease of different age patients.
Methods:One hundred and seventy-nine 49 to 90 years old patients with coronary heart disease were divided into the non-senile group(77 cases,less than 60 years old) and senile group(102 cases,more than or equal to 60 years old).The levels of fasting lipid,fasting glucose,CAT,SOD,GSH,GSH-Px and GR,height and weight in all cases were measured.The results of coronary arteriography of all cases were assessed using Gensini score system.
Results:The serum levels of GSH,GSH-Px,GR,CAT and SOD in senile group were lower than those in non-senile group(
P<0.05 to
P<0.01).There was significantly negative correlation between the levels of GSH,GSH-Px,GR,CAT and SOD,and Gensini scores after righting age(
P<0.01).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the effects of GSH-Px and CAT on Gensini scores were great.
Conclusions:The levels of GSH,GSH-PX,GR,CAT and SOD significantly decrease with the growth of age,which is negative correlation with coronary artery disease.The effects of GSH-Px and CAT on coronary artery disease are great.
