Abstract
Background: There are lots of indications that ABO blood types play a key role in the susceptibility or resiliency of humans to several infectious and non-infectious health deviations. This research work was aimed at assessing the effect of ABO blood types on antioxidant markers in healthy adult participants. Materials and Methods: A total of seventy (n=70) adult of both sexes were recruited into the study. All participants were assumed healthy provided they have not been on medication for a period of two weeks prior to their recruitment. Anthropometric parameters, body mass index (BMI) and antioxidant markers of the participants were assessed in the study. Antioxidant markers assessed includes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), and reduced glutathione (GSH). Data analysis was done using SPSS version 22.0.0.0. The level of significance was set at p<0.05. Result: Blood group O has the highest blood type frequency of 42 %, while AB has the lowest frequency of 12.9 %. A significant positive correlation was observed between body weight and BMI. The activity of GST and GSH antioxidant markers increased significantly (p< 0.05) among the blood types. Conclusion: This study concludes that the effects of the ABO blood groups confer more discrepancies in the antioxidant activity of GST and SOD. The participants with blood group A were of a good health advantage and less susceptible to oxidative stress.
