Summary: | Background and objectives: this prospective study was carried out to evaluate oxidative stress and liver monooxygenase function after cardiac surgery in patients with acquired valvular heart disease.
Methods: 97 patients were studied. Oxidative stress was quantified with malondialdehyde, coupled trienes, hepatocuprein, and catalase activity. Liver monooxygenase function was evaluated with antipyrine pharmacokinetics. For statistical analyses, the Dunnett test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used.
Results: on the 1st–2nd postoperative days, high lipid peroxidation activation (malondialdehyde: 9.6 ± 2.7 vs. 6.9 ± 2.0 nmol·mL−1, p |
