Fig 4. Overall antioxidant capacity according to the clinical profiles.

Fig 4

Median values of each group (Control, COL, VVC and RVVC) were calculated and compared using a Kruskal-Wallis and subsequently Dunn’s post-hoc test with all pairwise comparisons identified which groups differed. Box plots show the median, 25th and 75th percentiles of the overall median level of antioxidant capacity. Whiskers extend to the 5th and 95th percentiles; filled circles represent outliers. The overall antioxidant capacity was determined in triplicate by Trolox equivalent antioxidant activity (TEAC), to evaluate plasma non-enzymatic antioxidants. Women with RVVC had significantly lower mean levels of antioxidant capacity than control (*p<0.0001), COL (**p<0.0001) and VVC (***p<0.0001) groups.
