Relationship of reactive oxygen metabolite (ROM) levels with lumbar degenerative disorder diagnosis and with motor weakness. ROM and (a) diagnosis (LSS: lumbar spinal stenosis; LDH: lumbar disc herniation; for comparisons using a repeated-measure two-factor ANOVA) and (b) existence of motor weakness ( for comparisons using Student’s -test).
