Evidence on the Heroin-Mediated Impairment of the Oxidative Status of Erythrocytes

Table 2

Correlation analysis of studied serum redox markers and addiction profile data of chronic heroin addiction subjects. A significant correlation was evident for [GPX-1] and carbonyl contents with the duration of addiction ().
