PG - 651-654 LID - 10.1097/JCMA.0000000000000045 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Measurement of the levels of the derivatives of reactive oxygen metabolites (d-ROMs) and of the biological antioxidant potential (BAP) enables simultaneous assessment of oxidation degree and antioxidant capacity, using the same sample and testing equipment. At present, reference values of healthy adults are clarified, but the reference value of healthy children is unknown. This study was undertaken to clarify the age-related changes and the reference values of d-ROMs and BAP in healthy children. METHODS: The study population consisted of 77 children, ranging in age from 2 to 15 years, in normal mental and physical health as examined by a pediatrician, and seven healthy adult volunteers. Serum samples were obtained from the subjects for assay. Using these samples, d-ROMs and BAP values were measured, and the relationship with age was analyzed. RESULTS: The d-ROMs level decreased as the age increased, while the BAP showed no correlation with the age. The d-ROMs level was significantly higher in 2-6 years group than in 7-11 years group, 12-15 years group, or healthy adults group. The BAP/d-ROMs ratio, an index of antioxidant capacity, increased significantly with higher age. CONCLUSION: This study was carried out for the first time in healthy children in oxidative stress assessment using d-ROMs and BAP. In the infancy 2-6 years, the d-ROMs value was significantly higher and the BAP/d-ROMs ratio was significantly lower. From this, it was suggested that age should be considered when performing oxidative stress assessment using d-ROMs and BAP in children.
