8-epi-PGF and 11-DTX-B2 Urine

COHb = carboxyhemoglobin; HbA1c = hemoglobin A1c; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; hs-CRP = high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; sICAM-1 = soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1; 8-epi-PGF2α = 8-epi-prostaglandin F2α; 11-DTX-B2 = 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2. The other variables assessed in this study are listed in the accompanying publication. Only results at baseline (Day 0) and Day 90/91 are reported here.
