Abstract

The aims of this study was to estimate the total antioxidant activity level in serum among the Thalassemia Iraq patients. We estimated total free radical scavenging activity in the120 serum of Thalassemic patients their age range from 2-27years. The DPPH activity of serum ranged from 0.1-3.11µmol/ml, the mean serum level of total antioxidants in Thalassemia patients was significantly lower than the control group, and no relation to age or sex. We concluded that DPPH is useful for evaluating the total antioxidant capacity.
