Title: The effect of d-isoproterenol on intraocular pressure of the rabbit, monkey, and man. Author: Kass MA, Reid TW, Neufeld AH, Bausher LP, Sears ML. Journal: Invest Ophthalmol; 1976 Feb; 15(2):113-8. PubMed ID: 812836. Abstract: D-isoproterenol d-bitartrate applied topically lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal albino rabbits and rabbits with alpha-chymotrypsin-induced glaucoma. This effect is independent of any effect on systemic blood pressure or pulse rate. A similar response could not be obtained in monkey or human eyes. Subconjunctival injection of d-isoproterenol d-bitartrate to monkey eyes did not alter IOP.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
