%X Obesity is emerging as one of the fastest growing pandemics in modern times and is associated with various health related problems. Its prevalence is gradually increased in Bangladesh especially in urban areas. As there is no available reported work and systematically documented data regarding the serum antioxidant and lipid peroxidation levels in Bangladeshi obese patients, so the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between serum antioxidant vitamin C and lipid peroxidation (MDA) levels and thereby, pathophysiological correlation was established. In this study, 100 obese patients and 100 non-obese subjects were recruited. Demographic, anthropometric and clinical data were collected at routine visits. Obesity was determined by the body mass index (BMI). Serum antioxidant vitamin (vitamin C) was determined by UV-spectrophotometric method. The study showed that the antioxidant vitamin (C) was comparatively lower (p>0.05) in the obese group than in control subjects and lipid peroxidation (MDA) was significantly higher (p
