To study the effect of acute or chronic intracameral injection of hyaluronic acid on intraocular pressure (IOP) in rats.
Acute or chronic injections of hyaluronic acid were performed unilaterally in the rat eye's anterior chamber, whereas the contralateral eye was injected with saline solution. IOP was assessed daily or weekly by a tonometer in conscious rats. IOP was also assessed in both experimental groups at several intervals during the light-dark cycle.
A single injection of hyaluronic acid induced an increase of IOP that lasted for 8 days (P < 0.01), whereas its chronic administration during 9 weeks induced a significant and sustained increase in IOP, compared with the eye injected with vehicle (P < 0.01). This hyaluronic acid-induced hypertension was significantly decreased by the application of 1 drop of brimonidine (0.2%), latanoprost (0.005%), or timolol (0.5%). Significant daily variations of IOP were observed in both control and hyaluronic acid-injected eyes, peaking during the dark phase (P < 0.001, ANOVA).
These results suggest that the intracameral administration of hyaluronic acid could be a model of ocular hypertension in rats.
研究急性或慢性前房内注射透明质酸对大鼠眼压(IOP)的影响。
在大鼠眼的前房单侧进行急性或慢性透明质酸注射,而对侧眼注射盐溶液。通过眼压计每日或每周对清醒大鼠的眼压进行评估。在明暗周期的几个时间点也对两个实验组的眼压进行评估。
单次注射透明质酸可使眼压升高并持续8天(P < 0.01),而与注射赋形剂的眼相比,在9周内慢性给药可使眼压显著且持续升高(P < 0.01)。应用1滴溴莫尼定(0.2%)、拉坦前列素(0.005%)或噻吗洛尔(0.5%)可使透明质酸诱导的高血压显著降低。在对照眼和注射透明质酸的眼中均观察到眼压的显著每日变化,在暗期达到峰值(P < 0.001,方差分析)。
这些结果表明,前房内注射透明质酸可能是大鼠高眼压的一种模型。
