Cholinergic inhibition by botulinum toxin in a rat model of congenital glaucoma raises intraocular pressure

Abstract

Cholinergic receptors are crucially involved in the regulation of intraocular pressure (IOP). Muscarinic agonists in the trabecular meshwork tissue increase aqueous humour outflow facility by a direct stimulation of ciliary muscle contraction. We investigated the contribution of cholinergic state to IOP regulation.
