Özet
Background The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel oxidative stress marker (thiol/disulfide homeostasis) in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children for the first time in literature. Methods Ninety children with ADHD diagnosed according to DSM-V and as control group, 65 healthy children were included to the study. Native thiol, total thiol, disulfide, disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol were compared between the groups. Results Total and native thiol levels were significantly higher whereas the disulfide/native thiol ratios were significantly lower in children with ADHD. ADHD combined type appeared to have higher disulfide, disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios compared to other subtypes. Disulfide levels of the males with ADHD were significantly higher than those of the females with ADHD. Conclusion This study suggests that thiol/disulfide homeostasis is abnormal in children with ADHD. It may be used as a novel OS marker in ADHD children because it is easy, practical, fully automated and relatively inexpensive.
