2.3. Lipoperoxidation Levels: Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Antioxidant Pathways
OXIDATIVE STRESS, SEPTIC SHOCK
Lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress markers were increased at the beginning of the treatment in patients with septic shock, and a decrease was observed in all patients who received antioxidant therapy. However, only MT showed a statistically significant change. NORegarding the enzymatic antioxidant pathway, we evaluated glutathione and found increased levels in patients treated with NAC The levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants showed that there was an increase in thiols in patients treated with Vit E. All patients had low levels of Vit C but the only group that showed an increase was the one treated with Vit C
