Oxidant Status and Lipid Composition of Erythrocyte Membranes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes, Chronic Liver Damage, and a Combination of Both Pathologies
Figure 2
Levels of conjugated dienes and of carbonyl groups (oxidized proteins) in RBC membranes obtained from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cirrhosis. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD for levels of conjugated dienes (a) and for nitrites (b), determined in isolated membranes from RBC obtained from control healthy volunteers (), patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (), patients with cirrhosis (), and those from patients having the combination of both pathologies (). Symbols indicate experimental groups at the top of the figure. Statistics as indicated in Figure 1.
