Inhibition of prostaglandin-mediated ocular inflammatory responses by 4-biphenylacetic acid.
4-Biphenylacetic acid (BPAA),a prostaglandin-synthesis inhibitor, was tested for its effects on prostaglandin-related, laboratory models of ocular inflammation. Topically applied, BPAA inhibited arachidonic acid, but not prostaglandin E-induced increases in rabbit intraocular pressure (IOP). BPAA inhibited the IOP response to alkali burn and altered IOP changes following paracentesis. In vitro,...
متن کاملEffect of indomethacin in preventing surgically induced miosis.
A double-blind study was performed on 64 patients to assess the effect of preoperative indomethacin in comparison with a placebo in preventing surgically induced miosis during extracapsular cataract extraction. One drop of indomethacin or placebo was instilled at 7.00 p.m. and at 9.00 p.m. the night before surgery and 2 hours, 1 hour, and 15 minutes preoperatively. The pupil diameter was record...
متن کاملThe ocular hypertensive response following experimental acid burns in the rabbit eye.
Following application of 50 microliter of 2N hydrochloric acid to the rabbit cornea, the intraocular pressure rapidly increases and remains markedly elevated for up to 3 hr. The initial rapid increase in intraocular pressure appears to be the result of acid-induced shrinkage of the outer collagenous coats of the eye. The sustained rise in intraocular pressure is mediated in part by prostaglandi...
متن کاملProstaglandin synthesis, inhibition, and intraocular pressure.
Arachidonic acid, a precursor of prostaglandin E!} administered topically to rabbit and monkey eyes in concentrations of 0.2 to 20 per cent, or intravenously to rabbits in doses of 10 to 20 mg., produced a significant elevation of intraocular pressure. A dose-response relationship was demonstrated. Facility of outflow and anterior chamber aqueous protein were significantly higher in eyes treate...
متن کاملProstaglandin E in rabbit aqueous humor after Nd-YAG laser photodisruption of the iris and the effect of topical indomethacin pretreatment.
Ocular changes (prostaglandin E, protein, pupil diameter, and intraocular pressure) induced by photodisruption of pigmented rabbit iris with neodymium-yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) laser and the effect of topical indomethacin upon those changes were examined. Concentrations of prostaglandin E in laser-treated eyes (1,3,5,10, and 20 lesions) were substantially greater than those in normal eye...
