The Impact of Hypertension and Metabolic Syndrome on Nitrosative Stress and Glutathione Metabolism in Patients with Morbid Obesity

Table 2

Area under the curve (AUC) of nitrosative stress biomarkers and glutathione between patients with morbid obesity (OB) and morbid obesity and hypertension (OB+HYP); patients with morbid obesity (OB) and morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome (OB+MS) as well as patients with morbid obesity and hypertension (OB+HYP) and morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome (OB+MS); reduced glutathione (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), myeloperoxidase (MPO) nitric oxide (NO).
