Abstract
Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuroinflammatory disease and inflammation and oxidative stress play important roles in its pathology. Thiol/disulphide homeostasis (TDH) is a special oxidative stress biomarker that has been found to be affected in several disorders including MS. There is no study demonstrating the effects of attack status of the relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients on TDH levels. Our aim was to determine TDH levels in three different periods of RRMS patients and healthy individuals.
