Comparison of mean post-treatment TOS, TAS, OSI, and S-100B protein values of the patient and control groups.

Variables	Post-treatment (n=30)	Control (n=40)	p
TOS, μmol Trolox equivalents/L	10.1±5.6	8.94±6.8	0.434
TAC, μmol H2O2 equivalents/L	2.42±0.44	2.23±0.38	0.062
OSI, unit	0.43±0.24	0.41±0.32	0.268
S-100B protein (μg/L)	0.92±1.04	0.77±0.48	0.447

The t test for independent samples was used. The data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Significance was defined as p≤0.05. TOS – total oxidant stress; TAS – total antioxidant status; OSI – oxidative stress index.
