Abstract
Excessive disulfide levels and their related ratios were found in CO poisoning patients. In particular, the disulfide/native thiol ratio was identified as an indicator for overall oxidative status. Among CO poisoning patients, the thiol-disulfide balance was found to be impaired. Therefore, the disruption of thiol-disulfide homeostasis might be involved in CO toxicity.
