Comparison of aqueous humor total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and ascorbic acid (AA) level between patients with or without insufficient endothelial cell density (IECD). (a) The mean level of aqueous humor TAC was 1.168 ± 0.271 mM AA equivalent antioxidant capacity (AAEAC) in patients with IECD, and 1.592 ± 0.437 mM AAEAC in the control group. The difference was significant when analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test (p = 0.009). (b) The mean level of aqueous humor AA was 0.856 ± 0.241 mM in patients with IECD and 1.178 ± 0.376 mM in the control group. The difference was significant when analyzed by the Mann–Whitney U test (p = 0.016)
