| Popis: | Purpose To assess peripheral vascular endothelial function and IOP in patients with ocular hypertension (OH), before and after the use of Palmitoylethanolamide per os, using non-invasive dependent flow mediated vasodilation (FMD). Methods We studied 20 OH patients (12 females and 8 males) aged from 34 to 64 (mean 56.8+8.1 yrs). The diagnostic criteria for OH were: IOP exceeded 22 mm/hg, open anterior chamber angle, cup/disc ratio |
