Abstract The role of free radicals in fibromyalgia is controversial.
In this study, 85 female patients with primary fibromyalgia and 80
age-, height-, and weight-matched healthy women were evaluated for
oxidant/antioxidant balance. Malondialdehyde is a toxic metabolite of
lipid peroxidation used as a marker of free radical damage.
Superoxide
dismutase is an intracellular antioxidant enzyme and shows
antioxidant
capacity. Pain was assessed by visual analog scale. Tender points
were
assessed by palpation. Age, smoking, body mass index (BMI), and
duration of disease were also recorded. Malondialdehyde levels were
significantly higher and superoxide dismutase levels significantly
lower in fibromyalgic patients than controls. Age, BMI, smoking, and
duration of disease did not affect these parameters. We found no
correlation between pain and number of tender points. In conclusion,
oxidant/antioxidant balances were changed in fibromyalgia. Increased
free radical levels may be responsible for the development of
fibromyalgia. These findings may support the hypothesis of
fibromyalgia as an oxidative disorder.

since they are not 'your' threads your objection(s) are moot

perhaps if you refrained from being so silly you would have fewer posts
that you find objectionable?

well now tommy - you may be onto something here: am i atempting [sic] to
talk to you?

actually, no, i am not.

i am however writing - and then posting said written message to a
newsgroup.

> You cannot seem to understand simple

hmmmmm - let us atempt [sic] to understand this phrase

tommy is - to his credit - commenting upon appearance and his inference,
rather than proclaiming someone's intent - kudos - major step towards
rational discourse

that understood however, still leaves the word 'simple' - what is the
reader to discern from his usage of this word?

does he perhaps mean that 'he', tommy, is simple?

that he is presenting a 'simple' concept?

or, is it rather that he is 'simply' rephrasing his already rejected
demand...

>.. directions ..

gosh tommy - you have instructed so many folk, myself included, with
various directions - what we could do with others, with ourselves, with
objects or animals - including of course, that you wish to be left alone

there is just one - tiny - unavoidable - problem with that

you keep doing what you do - inviting response each and every time you
write such rediculous and silly nonsense

is is therefore a reasonable conclusion

[returning to the first part of this message of yours]

that any reader should find that you are, indeed,

simple
