  1. POAG, primary open angle glaucoma; BDNF, brain-derived neurotrophic factor; sICAM, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule; MPO, myeloperoxidase; sNCAM, soluble neural cell adhesion molecule; sVCAM, soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule; PAI, plasminogen activator inhibitor
  2. P values are calculated by Mann-Whitney U test
