Özet
Objective: Ischemia modified albumin (IMA) is a marker that is considered as an oxidative stress biomarker. In this study we investigated the IMA levels, an oxidative stress marker, in obesity that leads to free radical formation, in children. Material and Method: Fifty obese and fifty normal weighted children as a control were included in the study. Blood samples were collected for biochemical parameters and serum IMA values. Results: Serum IMA levels were significantly higher in obese group than non-obese group (p<0.001). Median and minimum-maximum IMA values of obese and control groups were 930 (min: 673-max 1332) and 864 (min: 496-max: 1068) respectively. Conclusion: IMA may be used as an important marker to show oxidative stress in childhood obesity.
