TLDR People with Alopecia Areata have higher oxidative stress and different enzyme activities compared to healthy individuals.
The study evaluated serum paraoxonase, arylesterase, prolidase activities, and oxidative stress in patients with alopecia areata. The researchers aimed to understand the biochemical changes associated with this condition. The findings indicated that patients with alopecia areata had altered enzyme activities and increased oxidative stress compared to healthy controls. These results suggested that oxidative stress and enzyme activity changes might play a role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata.
