Clinical Study

Oxidant Status and Lipid Composition of Erythrocyte Membranes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes, Chronic Liver Damage, and a Combination of Both Pathologies

Figure 3

In vitro production of TBARS by incubated RBC membranes obtained from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cirrhosis. The results are expressed as the mean ± SD for the amount of TBARS generated by isolated RBC membranes 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.
