Acute Hyperbaric Oxygenation, Contrary to Intermittent Hyperbaric Oxygenation, Adversely Affects Vasorelaxation in Healthy Sprague-Dawley Rats due to Increased Oxidative Stress

Table 3

The effects of hyperbaric oxygen on the level of oxidative stress (TBARS) and antioxidative capacity (FRAP) in serum samples.

	N	CTRL	A-HBO2	24H-HBO2	4D-HBO2
TBARS (μmol l^−1 MDA)	8	0.66 ± 0.02	0.86 ± 0.04	0.64 ± 0.02	0.62 ± 0.02
FRAP (mmol l^−1 TROLOX)	8	0.17 ± 0.00	0.15 ± 0.01	0.17 ± 0.00	0.18 ± 0.00

Results are shown as (standard error of mean); compared to the control group. TBARS: thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances; FRAP: ferric reducing ability of plasma, plasma antioxidant capacity.
