The peptides ADNF-9 and NAP increase survival and neurite outgrowth of rat retinal ganglion cells in vitro.

abstract：PURPOSE:Somatostatin (SST) analogues have been used to treat proliferative diabetic retinopathy, pseudotumor cerebri, thyroid orbitopathy, and cystoid macular edema. There is a paucity of published data in regards to cell-specific distribution of SST receptors (SSTR) in normal human eye tissues. Gene expression for all...
