Neuroprotective effects of transcription factor Brn3b in an ocular hypertension rat model of glaucoma.

abstract：PURPOSE:Peroxynitrite generated during the early phase of experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) causes peroxidation of docosahexaenoic acid (22:6), a principal unsaturated fatty acid of the photoreceptor membrane, to its hydroperoxide (22:6HP). During this phase, microglia migrate to the site of photoreceptors. T...
