8-F2-isoprostane, thioredoxin and thioredoxin reductase levels in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Nordic Journal of Psychiatry 2018 June 22
PURPOSE: Accumulating data demonstrate that oxidative stress may play a crucial role in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study aimed to investigate the role of 8-F2-isoprostane, thioredoxin (Trx), and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) in children with OCD.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three drug-free children with OCD and 35 healthy controls were included in this study. The severity of OCD symptoms was assessed via the Children's Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale. The severity of anxiety levels was determined through the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders. Plasma levels of 8-F2-isoprostane, Trx, and TrxR were measured using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits.
RESULTS: Plasma 8-F2-isoprostane, Trx, and TrxR levels did not show any significant differences between patient and control groups. There were no significant correlations between plasma levels of these antioxidants and severity of OCD.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study did not support the involvement of oxidative stress in the etiology of childhood OCD.
