Abstract:This study investigated the preventive effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid combined with
sodium ferrous citrate (5-ALA/SFC) on blood–aqueous barrier (BAB) breakdown induced after
anterior chamber paracentesis (ACP) in beagles. 5-ALA/SFC (1/0.64 mg/kg or 3/1.92 mg/kg)
or carprofen (4.0 mg/kg) was orally administered daily for 7 days prior to ACP. Then, a
sample of the aqueous humor (AH) was collected from one eye via ACP (first sample) and
again 60 min later (second sample). The protein and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) … Show more
