Changes in Gene Expression in Experimental Glaucoma and Optic Nerve Transection: The Equilibrium between Protective and Detrimental Mechanisms
30 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The authors studied retinal gene expression changes in rats after experimental intraocular pressure elevation and optic nerve transection to elucidate molecular mechanisms of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. METHODS: Translimbal laser photocoagulation was used to induce unilateral IOP elevation in 41 albino Wistar rats. In 38 additional animals, unilateral transection of the optic nerve was performed....
