Increased malondialdehyde concentration and reduced total antioxidant capacity in aqueous humor and blood samples from patients with glaucoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Our data further support the hypothesis that oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant defenses are involved in glaucoma. High-performance liquid chromatography appears to be an effective and sensitive method to detect altered levels of oxidative stress markers in glaucoma patients.
