Erythrocyte Fraction in Thrombi Is Increased with Serum Iron by Influencing Fibrin Networks via Oxidative Stress

Figure 4

Correlation of serum iron and oxidative stress level in vivo. (a) Significant differences in MDA concentration between the HI (), MI (), LI (), and NC groups () and no significant differences between the NS () and NC groups (). MDA concentration was increased in the presence of serum iron. (b) Significant differences in SOD concentration between the HI (), MI, (), LI (), and NC groups () and no significant differences between the NS () and NC groups (). SOD concentration decreased in the presence of serum iron. (c) Significant differences in CAT concentration between the HI (), MI (), LI (), and NC groups () and no significant differences between the NS () and NC groups (). CAT concentration decreased in the presence of serum iron. (d) Significant differences in GSH-PX concentration between the HI (), MI (), LI (), and NC groups () and no significant differences between the NS () and NC groups (). GSH-PX concentration was decreased in the presence of serum iron. Results are expressed as , ; ns: ; .
