Critical Evaluation of the Interaction of Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species with Blood to Inform the Clinical Translation of Nonthermal Plasma Therapy

Scavenging capacity of BP and processed whole blood for NTP-generated ROS/RNS. RNS and H2O2 concentrations at different analysis time points were normalized to their baseline concentrations, measured immediately after treatment in PBS, to determine the remaining percentage following (a, b) direct NTP and (c, d) indirect NTP. Data are represented as . The ROS/RNS concentration after NTP at time points 30-300 s was compared to the initial concentration (0 s) in the associated liquid. This comparison provides insight into the stability of the species over time in PBS, BP, and processed whole blood. The generalized linear mixed model was used to determine statistical significance (). ; ; #.
