Effect of imidazole on ionophore-induced ocular hypertension.
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of intraperitoneal injections of imidazole on the elevation of intraocular pressure produced by the topical application of the cation ionophores A23187 or X537A was studied in rabbits. Pretreatment with 200 mg./kg. imidazole completely inhibited the ocular hypertension induced by 1.0 percent A23187. The elevation of intraocular pressure produced by 0.5 percent X537A was not blocked by pretreatment with imidazole.

Modification by imidazoles of ocular inflammatory and pressure responses.
Imidazole, given intraperitoneally to rabbits, inhibited the prostaglandin E1-induced (PGE1) elevation of intraocular pressure. The maximum imidaz-le effect occurred at three to six hours after intraperitoneal infection. The prostaglandin E1-induced aqueous humor protein elevation was reduced markedly in the imidazole-pretreated rabbits. Intravenous administration of imidazole also was effectiv...
متن کاملRho Kinase Inhibitors as a Novel Treatment for Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension
In an elegant example of bench-to-bedside research, a hypothesis that cells in the outflow pathway actively regulate conventional outflow resistance was proposed in the 1990s and systematically pursued, exposing novel cellular and molecular mechanisms of intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation. The critical discovery that pharmacologic manipulation of the cytoskeleton of outflow pathway cells dec...

متن کاملThe Effect of Pregnancy Induced Hypertension on Complete Blood Count of Newborn
Background: Pregnancy induced hypertension is one of the most common causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. New born delivered to mothers with hypertension are more liable for intrauterine growth retardation and may be delivered prematurely. We aimed to determine the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension on complete blood count, gestational age and birth weight of newborn...
متن کاملA useful mouse model of glucocorticoid-induced ocular hypertension.
Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced ocular hypertension and iatrogenic glaucoma still are a major side effect associated with GC therapy, especially with the increased use of intravitreally administered GCs for a variety of retinal conditions. In this issue, Overby and colleagues investigated GC-induced ocular hypertension in mice. They built on the success of Whitlock and coworkers, who previously rep...
