CR: conditioning regimen; BMT: bone marrow transplantation; Units – TBARS: nmol TBARS/mL plasma. Data are expressed as median (lower/upper quartile). Group I (n = 37); Group II (n = 13); Group III (n = 24).
^a Significantly different from group I (control).
^c Significantly different from before CR.
^d Significantly different from CR.
