...Daniel Mojon; Daniel Boscoboinik; Anita Haas; Matthias Bohnke; Angelo Azzi Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells migrating through the damaged retina play an important role in the pathogenesis of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). We found that α-tocopherol (vitamin E) inhibits proliferation...

..., inhibition was 78% and at 10 ––6 M 33%. By comparison, 10 ––4 M γ-oryzanol inhibited the reaction by 61 % and α-tocopherol by only 14%. The combination of 10 ––6 M S-17224 and 10 ––4 M γ-oryzanol potentiated the effect by another 23%. In the light-catalyzed system. S-17224 and α-tocopherol were more...

...Marcelo N. Ayala; Per G. Söderberg Purpose: The authors have previously described that the photochemical reciprocity law does not apply for ultraviolet radiation (UVR)-induced cataract. The aim of this study was to elucidate if failure of the reciprocity reverses with vitamin E (α-tocopherol...

...I. Pinilla; J.M. Larrosa; V. Polo; F.M. Honrubia Purpose: To evaluate the efficiency and reliability of α-tocopherol in an experimental model of glaucoma filtering surgery. Methods: Thirty pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into three study groups. Twenty-four hours before surgery, the animals...
