J Islamic Int Med Coll Jan ;13(3):133-6.

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the serum enzymatic antioxidant levels in recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients. Study Design: This was a case control study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in biochemistry department of Islamic International Medical College- Trust (IIMC-T) Rawalpindi from 15 March 2016 to 14 March 2017.

Aphthous group comprised of 70 recurrent aphthous stomatitis patients with active lesion and 90 age and sex matched healthy controls were included in the non-aphthous group .From all the participants 2 ml of blood was taken. Serum glutathione peroxidase levels were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay technique. This ELISA kit uses Sandwich-ELISA as the method. Results: The comparison of mean of serum glutathione peroxidase levels between aphthous and non-aphthous group was significant (p
