Fig 1 Concentrations of (a) plasma homocysteine and (b) plasma copper in 55 patients who have undergone CABG: T0 = preoperative; T1 = 1 day postoperative; T2= 6 days postoperative; T3 = 6 weeks postoperative. Data are expressed as geometric mean values ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical analyses were carried out on previous postsurgical levels. *p < 0.001; **p < 0.0001.
