Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect on circadian variation of intraocular pressure (IOP) of eliminating the alpha2A-, alpha2B-, or the alpha2C-adrenergic receptor subtypes in the mouse. METHODS: A microneedle method was used to measure IOP in knockout mice lacking the alpha2A-, alpha2B-, or the alpha2C-receptor (alpha2A-R(-/-), alpha2B-R(-/-), alpha2C-R(-/-)), in wild-type mice of the alpha2B knockout strain...
