ABSTRACT
Eighty patients from Chennai Medical College (patients with bronchogenic carcinoma) and from Tambaram Tuberculosis Hospital (patients with non-malignant pulmonary diseases mainly tuberculosis) in whom the etiologic diagnosis of their pleural effusions are confirmed were included in the study. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) and activities of antioxidant enzymes were estimated in pleural exudates of the two groups. Lipid peroxidation was found to be increased and the status of antioxidants were found to be decreased in lung malignant pleural exudates when compared to those of non-malignant effusions. The possible reasons for the observed results discussed.
