did not reach statistical significancep = 0.0928
Although the difference in the hepatic GSH/GSSG ratio did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.0928), hepatic oxidative stress (liver GSSG concentration) and damage (plasma ALT activity) after the IR operation were significantly improved when the portal H 2 concentration was high: greater than 4.3 μmol/L, which corresponded to quintiles 3–5.
