Fig. 3. Baseline conjugated dienes (CD) generation related to STK treatment intervals. A) CD generation separated into 2 groups of patients who showed a peak CPK elevation before and 10 hours post STK treatment (*p<0.05). B) Correlation between peak CPK occurrence in hours and CD generation post STK treatment.
