Does early phase of reperfusion of human kidney allograft affect an erythrocyte anti-oxidative system?
The results suggest that the erythrocyte anti-oxidative system is stable during the early phase after reperfusion. An association between some anti-oxidative enzymes was noted.
The decrease in oxidative stress levels observed by means of the markers tested was more significant when carvedilol was used in combination with the antioxidant vitamins. The findings suggest that both carvedilol alone and in combination with the vitamins were effective in attenuating the systemic oxidative stress in patients with Chagas heart disease, especially those less severely affected, thus suggesting the possibility of synergism between these compounds.
