ABSTRACT Background: In Crohn disease (CD), the increased production of reactive
oxygen species from activated neutrophils may reduce plasma concentrations of antioxidant
vitamins and result in increased oxidative stress. Objective: We compared lipid peroxidation,
a measure of reactive-oxygen-species production, and plasma antioxidant vitamin
concentrations between CD patients and healthy control subjects. Design: Thirty-seven
nonsmoking CD patients (22 women and 15 men) were compared with an equal number of …
