Antioxidant enriched enteral nutrition and oxidative stress after major gastrointestinal tract surgery

Figure 1 Intake of Kcal after surgery (mean ± SD). Caloric intake on the day before and on 7 d after surgery in the control and treatment groups. No significant difference in intake was observed between the groups.

Figure 2 F2-Isoprostane after surgery (mean ± SD). Development of F2-isoprostane in urine (ng/mg creatinine) after surgery in the control and treatment groups. The difference between the two groups over time was observed to be significant between the first and the third day after surgery, ^bP < 0.01.

Figure 3 Development of LBP plasma concentration. Data represent means ± SD. ¹Indicates statistically significant difference between the control and treatment groups with respect to day 1.
