Timepoint: The night before surgery, pre-medication or placebo are taken immediately before spinal anesthesia and 30 minutes after tourniquet inflatation, then 15 minutes after tourniquet removal for measuring superoxide dismutase. Method of measurement: Enzyme kits.;Serum levels of malondialdehyde. Timepoint: The night before surgery, pre-medication or placebo are taken immediately before spinal anesthesia and 30 minutes after tourniquet inflatation, then 15 minutes after tourniquet removal for measuring superoxide dismutase. Method of measurement: Enzyme kits.
