Aging was associated with increased ROS (MDA and MPO) and decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) in AMI patient plasma post-PCI. a Plasma-reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration was lower in old patients than in adult patients; b Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration was higher in old patients than in adult patients; and c plasma myeloperoxidase (MPO) concentration was greater in elderly than adult patients. Adult indicates adult group, and elderly indicates elderly group. Totals for the following groups: 34 adult patients; 45 elderly patients. Data expressed as mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01 vs. adult group
