Article Title: Investigation of the Neuroprotective Effect of Riluzole on Matrix Metalloproteinases in an Experimental Model of Glaucoma
doi: 10.4103/joco.joco_290_23
Figure Lengend Snippet: Hematoxylin-eosin staining of control (A and A1), glaucoma (B and B1), riluzole (C and C1), and DMSO + corn oil (D and D1) groups. No histopathological findings (degeneration in ganglion cells, congestion in vascular structures, hemorrhage, and differentiation in layers) were found in the images (A, C, and D ×10) (A1, C1, and D1 ×20). The glaucoma group differed significantly from the other experimental groups in terms of degeneration in ganglion cells, occlusion in vascular structures, bleeding, and differentiation in layers (B, ×10) (B1, ×20)
Article Snippet: Riluzole drug administration is started simultaneously with the onset of glaucoma induction, and at the same time every day (12:00–1:00 PM), a single dose of 5 mg/kg/day riluzole hydrochloride (MedChem Express, Cat no. HY-B0211A) is applied.
