Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandins have many important roles in ocular physiology and are used clinically for the treatment of glaucoma. The aim of this study was to analyse the contribution of each cyclooxygenase isoform to ocular prostaglandin production using isoform-specific knockout mice. Ex vivo PGE(2), 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), and TXB(2) production was measured from whole eyes, corneal tissue, uveoscleral tissue, lens, retina and...
