Data presented as mean ± SEM. CON n = 17, NAC n = 16. A: Blood reduced glutathione (GSH) levels. *Indicates the significant effect of NAC treatment when compared to control group (P = 0.023). **Indicates the significant effect of day. Tukey’s post-hoc test showed a significant difference between operation day and post-operational third day on blood GSH levels in both study groups (P = 0.016). B: Blood oxidised glutathione (GSSG) levels. *Indicates the significant effect of NAC treatment when compared to control group (P = 0.014). No significant effect of day was found on GSSG levels. C: *Indicates the significant effect of NAC treatment when compared to control group (P = 0.019). No significant effect of day was found on GSH/GSSG ratio.
