GSH level determination. Reduced glutathione (GSH) content was determined in total blood from participants of the control group (control) and patients with alcoholic liver cirrhosis (ALC), classified according to the Child-Pugh score as Child-Pugh A, Child-Pugh B, or Child-Pugh C. (a) Patients without current alcohol consumption; (b) patients with active alcohol consumption. Each bar represents the mean value ± SEM. For (a): , control group versus ALC group; , control group versus Child-Pugh A subgroup; , control group versus Child-Pugh B patients; , Child-Pugh A versus Child-Pugh B subgroups; , Child-Pugh A subgroup versus Child-Pugh C patients. For (b): , control group versus Child-Pugh A subgroup; , control group versus Child-Pugh B patients; , Child-Pugh A versus Child-Pugh B subgroups; , Child-Pugh A subgroup versus Child-Pugh C patients; , Child-Pugh B patients versus Child-Pugh C subgroup.
