Abstract

Maintaining optimal health requires a proper equilibrium between prooxidants and antioxidants, a parameter that can be affected by body composition and biochemical status. This is particularly crucial during periods of diminished antioxidant defense, such as menopause. The aim of the present study is to evaluate and compare the levels of Vitamin D and SOD in pre- and post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes. The colorimetric method was utilized to ascertain the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, while the vitamin-D was determined. Utilizing the vitamin D and SOD concentrations were determined.Key body composition and biochemical profiles may ultimately impact the alterations in antioxidant status including SOD associated with menopause. To validate this assertion, additional research endeavors are required to assess the effects of biochemical interventions and alterations in body composition on antioxidant defense
