    Author: Shukla GK, Garg A, Bhatia N, Pandey S, Kaur G, Shukla RN, Shanker K.
    Journal: Boll Chim Farm; 2000; 139(2):103-5. PubMed ID: 10920537.
    Abstract:
    The present study was carried on adolescents suffering from chronic tonsillitis. Blood (pre and post tonsillectomy) as well as tonsil samples were evaluated for -MDA, SOD and Catalase. Our results showed a decrease in level of MDA and increase in SOD and Catalase levels post tonsillectomy. Presence of MDA and SOD in tonsillar tissue reinforce involvement of oxidative stress in pathophysiology of chronic tonsillitis.
