“…The proposal above was to understand in these two subgroups (erythrocytes and serum/plasma) which is the best strategy to understand the effect of oxidative stress in FEP patients. Therefore, another 5 meta-analyses were performed assessing these oxidative markers from 21 studies, comprising an overall sample of 120 FEP patients and 143 HC for CAT 10,24,26,27 (4 studies), 943 FEP and 970 HC for SOD 10,28,[30][31][32][33][34][35] (8 studies), 186 FEP and 163 HC for GPx 10,24,25,27,36 (5 studies), 51 FEP and 73 HC for GSH 10,24 (2 estudies), and 487 FEP and 461 HC for lipid peroxidation 20,22,24,25,27,31,35,36,[38][39][40] (11 studies). We analyzed for each marker both types of samples, erythrocyte and plasma/serum, and the forest plots showed the most significant values obtained.…”
