  1. Matrix of the Pearson correlation coefficients between measured parameters of the oxidant/antioxidant state in ocular tissue of all patients, female and male within each group: control (C), primary pterygium (PP) and recurrent pterygium (RP). * - p < 0.05, ** - p < 0.01, *** - p <0.001; no value – p > 0.05. n = number of patients per group, m = males, f = females.
  2. SOD = superoxide dismutase, CAT = catalase, GPx = glutathione peroxidase, TAS = total antioxidant status, TBARS = thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. NO = nitric oxide.
