Oxidative stress is involved in the development of secondary tissue damage and organ failure. Micronutrients contributing to antioxidant (AOX) defense exhibit low plasma levels during critical illness. The aim this study was investigate impact early AOX micronutrients on clinical outcome intensive care unit (ICU) patients with conditions characterized by oxidative stress.We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center trial admitted university hospital...
