Blood screening performed during the pre-enrollment check. Hematological parameters (red blood count—RBC, hematocrit—Hct, hemoglobin—Hgb, platelet—PLT and white blood count—WBC); reactive oxygen species (dROMs), thiol antioxidant barrier (SHp), serum liver enzymes used as inclusion criteria (aspartate aminotransferase—AST, alanine aminotransferase—ALT; alkaline phosphatase—ALP) are shown using grey bars, and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), total bilirubin, creatinine, urea, glucose, total protein and albumin are expressed in their conventional unit.
