Presbycusis is a gradual hearing loss caused by the ageing process. This is a chronic condition that affects the elderly population, and sensorineural progressive bilateral symmetry occurs with predominantly high-frequency hearing loss. The ability to discriminate speech decreases; hence, most of the affected patients have conversation problems, especially in noisy environments.This situation is a serious problem among elderly individuals. Social isolation, depression, and paranoia can be related to presbycusis. The aim of this study was to investigate GPx and the GSH:GSSG ratio as risk factors for presbycusis. A case-control study was conducted to determine the role of GPx activity with the GSH:GSSG ratio as a presbycusis risk factor in 60 subjects aged 55 to 75 years old during the period of August 2012 - April 2014. All of the subjects passed an ENT examination, pure tone audiometry, and tympanometry. The activity of GPx was measured with the Paglia and Valentine method, and the GSH:GSSG ratio was measured by the calorimetric method. The activity of GPx and the GSH:GSSG ratio were significantly different between the groups (p<0.05), and the odds ratio for high GPx with a low GSH:GSSG ratio was 135 (CI 95%: 5.17-20,028.88). High GPx activity with a low GSH:GSSG ratio is a risk factor for presbycusis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010545 Peroxides A group of compounds that contain a bivalent O-O group, i.e., the oxygen atoms are univalent. They can either be inorganic or organic in nature. Such compounds release atomic (nascent) oxygen readily. Thus they are strong oxidizing agents and fire hazards when in contact with combustible materials, especially under high-temperature conditions. The chief industrial uses of peroxides are as oxidizing agents, bleaching agents, and initiators of polymerization. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Peroxide
D011304 Presbycusis Gradual bilateral hearing loss associated with aging that is due to progressive degeneration of cochlear structures and central auditory pathways. Hearing loss usually begins with the high frequencies then progresses to sounds of middle and low frequencies. Presbycuses
D004220 Disulfides Chemical groups containing the covalent disulfide bonds -S-S-. The sulfur atoms can be bound to inorganic or organic moieties. Disulfide
D005978 Glutathione A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides. Reduced Glutathione,gamma-L-Glu-L-Cys-Gly,gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-Cysteinylglycine,Glutathione, Reduced,gamma L Glu L Cys Gly,gamma L Glutamyl L Cysteinylglycine
D005979 Glutathione Peroxidase An enzyme catalyzing the oxidation of 2 moles of GLUTATHIONE in the presence of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to yield oxidized glutathione and water. Cytosolic Glutathione Peroxidase,Glutathione Lipoperoxidase,Selenoglutathione Peroxidase,Glutathione Peroxidase, Cytosolic,Lipoperoxidase, Glutathione,Peroxidase, Glutathione,Peroxidase, Selenoglutathione
D005980 Glutathione Reductase Catalyzes the oxidation of GLUTATHIONE to GLUTATHIONE DISULFIDE in the presence of NADP+. Deficiency in the enzyme is associated with HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA. Formerly listed as EC 1.6.4.2. Glutathione-Disulfide Reductase,Reductase, Glutathione,Reductase, Glutathione-Disulfide

D000368 Aged A person 65 years of age or older. For a person older than 79 years, AGED, 80 AND OVER is available. Elderly
D016022 Case-Control Studies Comparisons that start with the identification of persons with the disease or outcome of interest and a control (comparison, referent) group without the disease or outcome of interest. The relationship of an attribute is examined by comparing both groups with regard to the frequency or levels of outcome over time.
