Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a common
and serious health problem affecting the quality of
life in men. According to National Institute of
Health classification system abacterial chronic
pelvic pain has two sub category which are defined
as 3a and 3b. The major difference between these
two groups inflammation status. In this study we
aim to investigate the antioxidant enzyme levels
such as Glutathion peroxidase (Gsh-Px),
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and
lipid peroxidation products in CPPS patients. All
enzyme levels were determined in patients and
disease free control group blood samples by
spectrophotometrically. In our study, the enzyme
levels were not a good indicator for comparison of
3a or 3b type CPPS patients. However, Gsh-Px,
SOD and lipid peroxidation products were
significantly different from disease free control
samples. Although high generation of H202 due to
SOD activity, we did not detect any change in CAT
activity in patients blood samples compare to
control group.
