| Abstract | ||
| Background: exposure to noise cause a harmful effects on human health which increase production of free radicals causing to oxidative stress in workers. Objective: to investigate the effect of noise pollution on oxidative stress parameters and acetylcholinesterase. Patients And Methods: this study executed on 91 workers aged (40.055 ± 11.56) years old selected randomly from tow gas electric stations divided into three groups depend on the years of working for worker in the station compared with 70 person as healthy control group aged (38.366 ± 10.73) years old. serum Malondialdhyde (MDA), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), Glutathione reductase (GR) and Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated. Result: MDA, GPx and GR levels were significantly (P≤0.05) higher in worker than that in the controls and lower level of AChE was significantly (P≤0.05) in workers than that of the controls. Conclusion: elevation of MDA, GPx and GR levels also decreasing of AChE activity may because of high production of free radicals caused by exposure to noise pollution. | ||
