Methods: Levels of lipid peroxidation and vitamins antioxidant status were determine in fifty (50)<br />

sickle cell anaemia patients in Osun State, Nigeria. Thirty (30) normal heamoglobin individual were<br />

used as controls. Malondialdehyde (MDA), Vitamin C, vitamin E, Lipid profile were estimated in<br />

patients and control serum using standard spectrophotometric analysis.<br />

Results: The results showed significant increase in MDA of patients compared with control 0.94± 0.2<br />

and 0.49±4µmol/l, P
