Correlation of Oxidative Stress Parameters and Inflammatory Markers in Ischemic Stroke Patients

These data suggest that the antioxidant activity of plasma may be an important factor that provides protection from IS. hs-CRP concentrations can be used as a clinical screening tool to identify individuals with higher risk of IS. Finally, fasting glucose and HbA1c may also be useful indicators for cerebrovascular risk in diabetic patients that may be mediated by low levels of antioxidative defense markers and high inflammation status.
