Abstract

Globally, adult males are frequently affected with chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP), a prevalent urological illness. It is believed that the inflammatory reaction linked to CBP causes oxidative stress, which may change the impacted people's levels of enzyme antioxidants the Effect of Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis on Levels Enzymatic Antioxidant. From October - 2022 to August - 2023, examined 270 clinical samples from subjects males (adults). Two groups were divided: the first group consisted of 180 male patients. In contrast, the second group consisted of 90 healthy males (adults). Blood samples of (3-5) ml were collected from all participants and the levels of zinc, selenium, glutathione peroxidase GPx, superoxide dismutase SOD, and catalase CAT were measured. The results showed that the levels of zinc, selenium, GPx, SOD, and CAT in men with chronic bacterial prostatitis were significantly lower than those in the control group of patients who were visited after ethical treatment at AL-Sader Medical City in Najaf Governorate. Aspects approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Iraqi Ministry of Health. The aim of this meta-analysis is to statistically evaluate and in-depth examine the case-control studies conducted so far regarding the effects of CBP on the levels of enzymatic antioxidants in adult men.
