A Cross-Sectional Study of Oxidative Stress Markers and Antioxidant Enzyme Levels in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Implications for Biochemical Risk Assessment

Abstract

Background: Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). By 2018, growing evidence suggested an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defense mechanisms in diabetic patients. 
Objective: To assess the levels of oxidative stress markers and antioxidant enzymes in T2DM patients compared to healthy controls.
