Atanu Saha

Abstract :

Teaching profession becomes a highly stressful occupation due to changing of social patterns. They have been found to have an increased prevalence of cardio vascular risk factors, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and oxidative stresses. The purpose of the present study is to examine the evaluation of oxidative stress and association of oxidative markers among high school teachers. Studies were conducted on randomly taken thirty five high school teachers. They were working in high school in Hooghly district. Study was conducted with six oxidative bio markers. Those were malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reduced glutathione (GSH) , super oxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione reductase (GR) . It was found from the study that MDA, CAT, GSH, GPx, GR belongs to same category except SOD. It was also found that GSH has strong positive correlation with CAT, GPx and GR and negative correlation with MDA. It was also found from the study that enhancement of GSH was highly responsible for MDA reduction. Some recommendations are stated below to reduce their problems.
