Summary of facility values in human eyes treated with 100 nM ET-1
Facility (C) | With TM | Trabeculotomy (Baseline) | ET-1 (100 nM) | ET-1 (100 nM) (Second Intervention) | DETA-NO (100 µM) + ET-1 (1 nM) (Second Intervention) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control (n = 7) | 0.23 ± 0.06* | 0.43 ± 0.1 | 0.29 ± 0.2 (P < 0.01)† | 0.32 ± 0.1 (P = 0.13)† | NA |
Experimental (n = 7) | NA | 0.54 ± 0.1 | 0.33 ± 0.2 (P < 0.01)† | NA | 0.54 ± 0.4 (P < 0.05)† |
P value (control vs. experimental) | NA | P = 0.87 | P = 0.5 | NA | P < 0.05 |
P value | NA | NA | NA | P < 0.05 (Trab vs. ET-1) | NA |
ET-1, endothelin-1; NA, not applicable; TM, trabecular meshwork; Trab, trabeculotomized eyes.
This outflow facility data was obtained from 73 anterior segments that had been perfused and previously published by our laboratory (8, 13, 46, 55, 56).
P values indicated are a comparison of the indicated facility value with respect to the first facility value to the left of the indicated value on the table.
