[Markers of lipid peroxidation, inflammatory proteins and plasma tocopherols in homozygotic and heterozygotic sickle cell anemia].
Lipoperoxidation final products represented by the TBARS (substances reacting with the Thiobarbituric acid), inflammatory reaction proteins and sera tocopherol have been studied in homozygous forms as well as in heterozygous forms of sickle cell diseases. The significant increase of TBARS (P < 0.001) measured by spectrofluorimetry, the considerable decrease of the sera alpha gamma tocopherol, measured by HPLC (P < 0.005) in all sickle cell patients, especially in crisis homozygous form, reinforce our previous study (22, 23, 24). The absence of links between the TBARS and the tocopherols (fig. 1) suggests that other defence mechanisms occur without vitamin E. The collapse of haptoglobinemia in homozygous sickle cell patients associated with the fall of hemoglobinemia indicates a severe tissue and intravascular hemolysis as a consequence of LPO. Furthermore, the simultaneous decrease of cholesterolemia seems to indicate important lipoperoxide activity detected in sickle cell patients.
