Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the changes in oxidative stress, selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following COVID-19 vaccination. Materials and methods: 20 healthy male subjects received 2 doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines between January and August 2021. Peripheral blood samples were taken immediately before the 1 st dose and 3 days after the 2 nd dose of the vaccine. The oxidant status (malondialdehyde (MDA) and total oxidant status (TOS)), antioxidant status (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant status (TAS)), Se and Zn, and HRQoL levels of the subjects were evaluated. In addition, oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated. Results: The mean age and body mass index of the subjects were 45.85 +/- 6.38 years and 28.53 +/- 4.50 kg/m(2), respectively. Following COVID-19 vaccinations, TAS levels decreased (p = 0.004); however, SOD levels increased (p = 0.012) significantly. In addition, there were no significant changes in TOS and MDA levels (p > 0.05). Moreover, OSI showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). After the vaccination process, Se and Zn increased; however, the differences were insignificant (p > 0.05). In addition, the HRQoL of the subjects did not change (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Although the antioxidant status decreased after 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccination, the oxidant status and the oxidative stress levels of the subjects remained stable. Thus, 2 doses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccination may have no effects on oxidative stress levels in healthy males. In addition, there were no changes in the serum concentrations of Se and Zn. Moreover, there was no difference in the HRQoL of the subjects. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination process may not affect serum Se and Zn levels and HRQoL in healthy males.
