- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method evels of 'new' parameters of oxidative stress like isofuranes and halogenated phospholipids are determined. Also vascular parameters (fibrinogen, Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 [PAI-1] activity etc.,) and endothelial damage parameters (soluble thrombomodulin, von Willebrand factor etc.,) are determined. New techniques like multivariate NMR will be determined for their usefulness in the above mentioned type of studies.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
