Data from 19 hepatitis A patients and 29 healthy children were analyzed. The results showed that hepatitis A patients had significantly reduced blood levels of antioxidants, which are related to oxidative stress, i.e. the imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract their harmful effects. Based on this finding, the researchers concluded that improving antioxidant defenses could be an important factor in treating hepatitis A. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Mustafa Cemek,\u00a0Semiha Dede,\u00a0Fahri Bayiroglu,\u00a0Huseyin Caksen,\u00a0Fatma Cemek,\u00a0Nihat Mert<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17036398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary This study evaluated the relationship between blood levels of antioxidants (beta-carotene, retinol, vitamin E and vitamin C) and hepatitis A in children.
