We investigated the presence of substance P-positive, vasoactive intestinal peptide-positive, and neuropeptide Y-positive nerve fibers in the human corneoscleral trabeculae under normal conditions and during glaucoma Our results show that SP-positive and NPY-positive nerve fibers normally occupy less, and VIP-positive nerve fibers normally occupy more, of the total corneoscleral trabeculae surface than during glaucoma. Further studies are necessary to clarify the role of these 3 neurotransmitters in the human corneoscleral trabeculae.

Abstract
We investigated the presence of substance P-positive, vasoactive intestinal peptide-positive, and neuropeptide Y-positive nerve fibers in the human corneoscleral trabeculae under normal conditions and during glaucoma Our results show that SP-positive and NPY-positive nerve fibers normally occupy less, and VIP-positive nerve fibers normally occupy more, of the total corneoscleral trabeculae surface than during glaucoma. Further studies are necessary to clarify the role of these 3 neurotransmitters in the human corneoscleral trabeculae.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
