Role of interleukin-1beta in the development of retinopathy in rats: effect of antioxidants.

abstract：PURPOSE:Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neuropeptide essential for the development, survival, growth, and differentiation of corneal cells. Its effects are mediated by both TrkA and p75 receptors. Clinically relevant use of NGF was introduced to treat neurotrophic ulcerations in patients. Herein, we examine the mechanis...
