Photically induced experimental exophthalmos: role of Harderian and pituitary glands.

abstract：PURPOSE:To examine the effects of methylcobalamin on glutamate-induced neurotoxicity in the cultured retinal neurons. METHODS:Primary cultures obtained from the fetal rat retina (gestation days 16 to 19) were used for the experiment. The neurotoxicity was assessed quantitatively using the trypan blue exclusion method....
