Data presented as mean ± SEM. CON n = 17, NAC n = 16. A: Plasma cystine levels. NAC group had significantly higher plasma cystine levels compared to the control group (P = 0.002). No significant effect of day was found on plasma cystine level. B: Plasma EAA levels. Tukey’s post-hoc test showed a significant difference between operation day and post-operational fifth day on plasma EAA levels in both study groups (P = 0.029). No significant effect of treatment was found on plasma EAA. C: Plasma BCAA levels. Tukey’s post-hoc test showed a significant difference between operation day and post-operational fifth day on plasma EAA levels in both study groups (P = 0.046). No significant effect of treatment was found on plasma BCAA. D: NAC group had significantly higher plasma AAA when compared to control group (P < 0.001). Tukey’s post-hoc test showed a significant difference between pre-operation day and operation day on plasma AAA levels in both study groups (P = 0.017).
