Figure 5 Time course of markers of systemic oxidative stress ([A]: urinary 8-OHdG; [B]: urinary 8-iso-PGF2
) in subjects who quit smoking (group A, open bars) and subjects who resumed smoking (group B, solid bars). Note that those markers were time-dependently decreased after smoking cessation; however, in the subjects who resumed smoking, those markers returned to the baseline values by resmoking. *p < 0.01 vs. day 0 in group A;
p < 0.05 vs. day 0 in group B;
p < 0.05 vs. day 14 in group B. 8-iso-PGF2
= 8-iso-prostaglandin F2
; 8-OHdG = 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine.
