The effects of 3, 10 and 20% concentrations of acetylcysteine

on experimental corneal wound healing in dogs

were evaluated. Experimental corneal wounds were induced

surgically, up to the depth of the anterior third of...

Abstract

Background: The effect of corticosteroid therapy on corneal

wound healing is controversial. The objective of this study was

to evaluate the effects of combination therapy with dexamethasone

and acetylcysteine...

Summary

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different time combinations of dexamethasone

and acetylcysteine on experimentally induced corneal ulcers in dogs. Experimental corneal wounds were...

This

study was designed to evaluate whether acetylcysteine alone and in association with

dexamethasone could reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal dogs. Three

groups of five dogs each were administered in the right eye...

as well as to a

large extent on the limitation of matrix degradation. It has

been shown that 3% concentration of N-acetylcysteine

(NAC) improves the healing time of corneal wounds but

some corneal haze remains. On the other hand...
