Key result
Hypertension was associated with significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and significantly higher levels of malondialdehyde compared to healthy controls (p0.05).
Why the study?
Are levels of antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde altered in hypertensive patients compared to healthy controls?
Case-Control (n=125)
Are levels of antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde altered in hypertensive patients compared to healthy controls?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Hypertensive patients exhibit increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant enzyme capacity compared to healthy controls.

Jha et al. (2014) conducted a case-control in Hypertension (n=125). Hypertension vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Serum levels of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, Catalase, GPX) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (p=p0.05). Hypertension was associated with significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and significantly higher levels of malondialdehyde compared to healthy controls (p0.05).
