Reduced total antioxidant capacity predicts ischaemia-reperfusion injury after femorodistal bypass (1998)
Journal Article
Spark, J., Chetter, I., Gallavin, I., Kester, R., Guillou, P., & Scott, D. (1998). Reduced total antioxidant capacity predicts ischaemia-reperfusion injury after femorodistal bypass. British journal of surgery, 85(2), 221-225. https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2168.1998.00542.x

BackgroundAntioxidant defence systems are essential to protect the body from harmful free radicals released following ischaemia-reperfusion. The aim of this study was to examine the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of patients with chronic critical l...
