Section Type: RESULTS

Text: Results show that : (1) high rHuEPO doses (groups A and C1) were associated with decreased ROM production, low alpha-T levels, and slightly increased - SH levels compared with corresponding groups on low rHuEPO doses (groups B and C2) ; (2) treatment with CL-Es (group C) increased plasma alpha-T and decreased - SH levels ; these data were associated with decreased indices of lipid peroxidation, particularly MDA-4HNE 1evels, only in patients administered low rHuEPO doses ; (3) alpha-T concentration influenced RBC survival, which was remarkably decreased in HD patients ; patients treated with CL-Es showed a better degree of anemia correction ; and (4) alpha-T level correlated negatively with - SH level and seemed to be independent of the extent of peroxidation and oxidizability of plasma lipids.
