Figure 2 Levels of cis-trans conjugated dienes (CD), trans-trans CD, hydroperoxides (ROOHs) and total antioxidant capacity (TRAP) in the six Group 1 patients in whom blood samples were obtained from GCV and aorta (A) and in the nine Group 1 patients sampled from GCV only but not from aorta (B). Venous levels of CD isomers and ROOHs markedly increased and TRAP values decreased 1 (t1) and 5 (t5) min after balloon deflation; levels of CD isomers and ROOHs were still elevated, whereas TRAP values returned to baseline levels 15 min after balloon deflation (t15). No changes of CD, ROOHs or TRAP levels were observed in aorta. Thick lines represent mean values; dashed lines represent individual data. *p < 0.01 vs. baseline. 
p < 0.05 vs. baseline.
