Abstract:
The level of lipid peroxidation products (malonic dialdehyde) is more than two times increased in the anterior chamber humor in patients with far advanced glaucoma in comparison with the well-developed stage. The level of the total antioxidant activity of humor is reliably lowered. A correlation has been revealed between the antioxidant activity of humor and its production. These results prompt us to recommend antioxidants for therapy of primary glaucoma.
