Corneal nerve damage and regeneration after excimer laser photokeratectomy in rabbit eyes.

abstract：:Cultured porcine retinal pigment epithelial cells release superoxide, measured as superoxide dismutase (SOD)-suppressible reduction of cytochrome C, and SOD-suppressible luminol-dependent chemiluminescence. Latex beads stimulated a significant release of superoxide that reached 82 nmol/mg protein in the first 15 min a...
