Oxidative stress markers in transfusion patients. A: Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS); B: Protein carbonyl; C: 2’,7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCHF-DA) oxidation; and D: Total thiol levels in controls (n = 15), those receiving < 5 transfusions (n = 14), 5-10 transfusions (n = 11), and > 10 transfusions (n = 14); aP < 0.05 vs controls.
