  Purpose: In patients with septic shock, excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by activated neutrophils injures the vascular endothelium. The body responds by recruiting systemic antioxidants, among which vitamin C most rapidly responds. Excessive and prolonged ROS production quickly depletes vitamin C, which is not synthesized by the human body. To improve the prognosis of patients with septic shock, we evaluated the ability of an antioxidant-enriched liquid diet to alleviate oxidative stress and multiple organ failure. Methods: We evaluated 15 patients with septic shock complicated by multiple organ failure who underwent treatment with ANOM® (antioxidant-enriched concentrated liquid diet, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co, Tokushima, Japan). Vitamin C concentration was determined by measuring serum levels of vitamin C radicals (V.. View More»
