Twenty-four-hour pattern of mouse intraocular pressure

M Aihara, JD Lindsey, RN Weinreb - Experimental Eye Research, 2003 - Elsevier
The 24-hr pattern of intraocular pressure in the mouse eye remains poorly characterized.
The present study was undertaken to determine the magnitude, dynamic pattern, and
synchrony of the 24-hr pattern of intraocular pressure (IOP) in NIH Swiss mice exposed to a
12-hr light/dark cycle or to constant light. IOP was measured every 3hr using a microneedle
method. Mice exposed to a 12-hr light/dark cycle were either measured repeatedly at 1 week
interval (group 1) or were only measured once (group 2). A third group was exposed to …
