Fig. 1. e-GST and e-CAT activity in all transplant patients.
a Histogram of e-GST activity of transplant patients from cadaver (N = 153) (white bar) and living donors (N = 16) (streaked bar) compared to control group (black), and e-GST activity in chronic kidney disease stage IV patients17 and in patients under two different dialysis techniques19 (gray bars). Statistical significance among e-GST activities in control group and transplanted patients (control vs. transplanted from cadavers, P < 0.0001; control vs. transplanted from living, P = 0.0008 and transplanted from cadavers vs. transplanted from living, ns P = 0.2120) b e-GST activity of all transplant patients divided by sex (women in gray and men in black) with a statistical significance of P = 0.013. The differences between sex are also reported for the type of donors: cadaver women (C) and men (C) and living women (L) and men (L). c Histogram of e-CAT activity of transplant patients from cadaver (N = 153) (white bar) and living donors (N = 16) (streaked bar) compared to control group (black), and e-CAT activity in chronic kidney disease stage IV patients17 and in patients under two different dialysis techniques19 (gray bars). No one of the observed differences showed statistical significance (for all groups P > 0.05). d e-CAT activity of all transplant patients divided by sex (women in gray and men in black). e Histogram of e-GST activity in eight patients before kidney transplantation (TX), 1 and 2 months after transplantation (gray bars) from deceased donors. Control group is the same for the experiments reported in panel a and panel e. Statistical significance among e-GST activities in control group and patients before transplantation (pre TX), one/two months after transplantation (1 month from TX and 2 months from TX) is not reported due to the scarce number (only eight) of patients. Values in the four panels are reported as mean ± SEM
