Abstract
The levels of antioxidants were significantly lower, while the marker of oxidative stress was higher in the SCI subjects compared with the controls. This observation demonstrates that SCI patients experience increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant defense the first year after injury. Our findings warrant intervention studies where SCI patients receive dietary antioxidant support as part of their rehabilitation.
