From: Reduced post-operative DPP4 activity associated with worse patient outcome after cardiac surgery
Schematic representation of the main findings of this study. Cardiac surgery increases DPP4 oxidation (DPP4-ox) through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduces DPP4 activity in the patients’ serum, with low post-operative DPP4 activity levels associated with worse outcome during ICU stay.
