Redox status in control rats and in rats with portacaval shunt at 4 weeks of evolution. Duplicate (TAX, AOPP and THIOLS) and triplicate (LOOH) assays in control (n = 11) and portocaval shunt (PCS) (n = 11) rats, except for TAX in which one PCS value was excluded. The results are expressed as mean ± SD. AOPP: serum advanced oxidation protein product; LOOH: serum lipid hydroperoxides; TAX: serum total antioxidant; THIOLS: total plasma thiols.
