Age- and sex-dependency of the association between systemic antioxidant potential and glaucomatous damage

Abstract Systemic oxidative stress is thought to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. In particular, low systemic antioxidative capacity, which normally counters oxidative stress, may contribute to glaucoma. Thus, we investigated the association between biological antioxidant pote...
