Biomarkers kinetic during saturation diving. Time course of: (A) ROS production rate (μmol·min⁻¹) and (B) antioxidant capacity (TAC−mM) in saliva calculated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR); (C) 8-isoprostane (8-iso-PGF2α-pg·mg⁻¹ creatinine); (D) Interleukin-6 (IL-6, pg·mL⁻¹); (E) nitric oxide metabolites (NOx, µM), and (F) 3-Nitrotyrosine (3-NT, nM·L⁻¹); (G) creatinine (g·L⁻¹); (H) neopterin (μmol.mol⁻¹ creatinine), concentrations detected in urine. All samples were collected at pre-, at deep, post-, and 24 h post-dive in saturation divers. * p < 0.05.
