(a) Levels of superoxide anion radical (nmol/ml) in plasma samples of healthy participants and patients with sepsis and septic shock 72 h after admission. (b) Levels of hydrogen peroxide (nmol/ml) in plasma samples of healthy participants and patients with sepsis and septic shock 72 h after admission. (c) Levels of nitric oxide in the form of nitrites (nmol/ml) in plasma samples of healthy participants and patients with sepsis and septic shock 72 h after admission. (d) Levels of the index of lipid peroxidation in the form of TBARS (μmol/ml) in plasma samples of healthy participants and patients with sepsis and septic shock 72 h after admission. Results are presented as . Statistical significance is considered if the was equal or below 0.05: (A) healthy vs. sepsis operated, (B) heathy vs. sepsis nonoperated, (C) healthy vs. shock operated, (D) healthy vs. shock nonoperated, (E) sepsis operated vs. sepsis nonoperated, (F) shock operated vs. shock nonoperated, (G) sepsis nonoperated vs. shock nonoperated, and (H) sepsis operated vs. shock operated.
