Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyPlasma Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX1) Levels and Oxidative Stress in Gallstone Patients Operated with Two Different Cholecystectomy Techniques: A Randomized Study with Special Reference to Cancer Patients.
The plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPX1) levels in gallstone patients operated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) or minicholecystectomy (MC) versus cancer patients is unknown. ⋯ The plasma GPX1 levels preoperatively and following surgery in the LC and MC patients versus cancer patients were quite similar. However, the inflammation of the gallbladder wall (IGW) correlated significantly with plasma GPX1 and hs-CRP values suggesting that inflammation and oxidative stress are related.
