Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Free radicals and lipid peroxidation are thought to be related to the vasospasm generation after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Plasma platelet-activating factor-acetyl hydrolase (PAF-AH) degrades phospholipids with an oxidatively modified fatty acyl chain. OBJECTIVE: To compare plasma PAF-AH activity and free forms of biomarker of lipid peroxidation in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) between patients with...
