title: Endocrine influences on ulceration and regeneration in the alkali-burned cornea.
abstract: Subconjunctival dibutyryl 3',5' cyclic adenosine monophosphoric acid (DBcAMP) produced a statistically significant reduction of ulceration in the alkaliburned rabbit cornea. No effect on epithelial cell growth was observed. DBcAMP also caused a statistically significant acceleration of corneal neovascularization in the first two weeks postburn. Medroxyprogesterone acetate also affected the development  of corneal ulcers postalkali burn, but in a less well-defined manner. Dinoprost and indomethacin did not seem to influence this lesion. Cyclic adenosine monophosphoric acid may therefore possess a potential for use in the alkali-burned human eye.
