Table 2. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the blood, and aqueous humor of control and glaucoma patients.

Samples Control group
(26 subjects) Glaucoma group
(40 subjects)
Blood 2.681±1.101 1.617±0.674
Aqueous 0.963±0.302 0.788±0.346

TAC was measured by the oxygen radical absorbance capacity assay in the blood, and aqueous humor of controls and glaucoma patients. The control group displayed significantly higher TAC levels than glaucoma group in both the blood (p<0.001) and aqueous humor (p=0.004). Data are expressed in μmol Trolox Equi/g and represent mean ± standard deviation. Student t test analysis was used.
