Anti-AGE-Ab kinetics over a period of 8 days after CABG surgery, mean ± SD (n = 8), plasma samples were collected before the operation (T1); after induction of narcosis (T2); after sternotomy (T3); after opening aortic clamps, beginning of reperfusion (T4); at the end of the operation (T5); 5 h postoperatively (T6); 24 h postoperatively (T7); 48 h postoperatively (T8) and 8 days after the operation (T9). Data is presented as signal intensity normalized to protein concentration (mean ± SD, n = 8). Plasma protein concentration was determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fischer Scientific).
