Dibutyryl cyclic adenosine monophosphate and forskolin alter the paracellular pathway in cultured corneal endothelial cells.

abstract：PURPOSE:Rabbits are used commonly for the evaluation of drugs and surgery to lower intraocular pressure (IOP). The authors compared the accuracy and variability of three tonometers for measuring IOP in rabbits. METHODS:The anterior chamber of adult rabbits was cannulated with a 25-gauge needle connected to an elevated...
