Increased Expression of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Mononuclear Blood Cells of Normal-Tension Glaucoma Patients
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Glaucomatous optic neuropathy involves tissue remodeling by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In this study we investigated MMP gene expression in circulating leukocytes isolated from normal tension glaucoma (NTG) patients in comparison to healthy controls.
