  • Title: Prostaglandins in ocular pathophysiology with special reference to diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma.
    Author: Waitzman MB, Colley AM.
    Journal: Metab Pediatr Syst Ophthalmol; 1983; 7(1):7-23. PubMed ID: 6353134.
    Abstract:
    This report reviews evidence for influences of prostaglandins (PGs) on intraocular pressure in glaucoma and on the progressive vascular and blood cell dysfunction in diabetes mellitus, of which retinopathy is a manifestation, and includes a brief outline of evidence for roles of PGs in ocular inflammation. Sequences in pathways of biosynthesis and conversion of PGs are summarized, and PG assay methods are evaluated briefly.
