Antioxidant status in the sera of patients. Sera from healthy individuals (control), burn patients (acute), venous leg ulcer and diabetic ulcer patients (chronic) were compared with respect to antioxidant status. Antioxidant activity was assessed with ABTS decolorization assay (a), Amplex Red assay (b), and Cuprac assay (c). The levels of the main thiol antioxidant, glutathione, was also determined (d). No significant differences were detected between the groups.
