Does oxidative stress change
ceruloplasmin from a protective to a vasculopathic factor?
Serum trace metal and
ceruloplasmin variability in individuals treated for pulmonary tuberculosis.
The present study was done to evaluate oxidative stress in GDM by estimating serum levels of MDA (oxidant), serum
ceruloplasmin (antioxidant), and uric acid (antioxidant).
Serum electrolytes, iron, copper, and
ceruloplasmin levels were within normal limits.
Ceruloplasmin is an important acute phase protein which activates under stressful conditions.
Total oxidant--antioxidant statuses,
ceruloplasmin, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) are among important biomarkers of oxidative stress.
Copper and iron interact through the
ceruloplasmin, a copper-dependent oxidase, which assists in iron transport in the plasma in association with transferrin by oxidation of Fe2+ into Fe3+ .
The patient's serum levels of copper and
ceruloplasmin were normal.

Ceruloplasmin, and Lipid Profile.
Therefore, apolipoprotein A-II (APOA2) and
ceruloplasmin (CP) may be involved in the development of PDR and in the mechanism of the effects of anti-VEGF treatment.
