[Endothelial Cell Reaction to Elevated Hydrostatic Pressure and Oxidative Stress in Vitro].

CONCLUSION: Direct effects, in terms of higher vulnerability or morphological changes of moderately elevated high pressure on endothelial cells, could not be shown. However, the reaction to low amounts of oxidative stress indicates the involvement of endothelial cells in the pathogenesis of glaucoma and the special role of oxidative stress when referring to endothelial dysfunction in glaucomatous disease.
