Autophagy and Macropinocytosis: Keeping an Eye on the Corneal/Limbal Epithelia.

abstract：:The purpose of this study was to determine whether unilateral gonadectomy caused any change in intraocular pressure. Repeated measurements in 22 male and nine female rabbits after unilateral gonadectomy were made by three different methods of determining intraocular pressure. We were unable to find a decrease in intra...
