The Characteristics of Antioxidant Activity after Liver Transplantation in Biliary Atresia Patients

Table 2

Comparison of liver supernatant (randomly selected cases) between mean levels (±SE) of glutathione peroxidase and catalase (CAT) enzymes in different cholestasis groups and control children.

Variable	GPx (nmol/min/mL)	CAT (nmol/min/mL)
Normal ()	67.01 ± 6.32	10.57 ± 2.37
BA ()	50.05 ± 4.26	7.11 ± 1.53
LT ()	72.48 ± 5.21	12.00 ± 1.34
Hepatitis ()	49.01 ± 3.34	10.26 ± 1.62

BA: biliary atresia before liver transplantation; CAT: catalase; GPx: glutathione peroxidase; LT: biliary atresia after liver transplantation; versus BA.
