摘要 |
This invention relates to compositions and methods for lowering intraocular pressure and treatment and/or prevention of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The invention provides insulin, isoforms of insulin, analoges of insulin, fragments of insulin peptide and other products of protein/gene engineered modifications of insulin for the lowering of intraocular pressure. The invention also provides insulin, isoforms of insulin, analoges of insulin, fragments of insulin and other products of protein/gene engineered modifications of insulin for increasing the success of glaucoma surgical procedures. The invention further provides insulin, isoforms of insulin, analoges of insulin, fragments of insulin and other products of protein/gene engineered modifications of insulin for neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells. |
