Lymphocytes from the unmedicated SZ patients with acute psychosis are enriched with 8-oxodG. Flow cytometry analysis of 8-oxodG. Index 8-oxodG (arb.un) is the ratio of the difference between the experienced and the background signal to the magnitude of the background signal. Graph—Quantification of 8-oxodG in lymphocytes of HC (green) and SZ (m−) (red) groups. The data in each group is ranked by the value of 8-oxodG. The mean and standard deviation for each cell sample is given (the data of three independent experiments, two measurements in each experiment, ). Table contains statistical data.
