title: Effect of antioxidant enzymes on experimental uveitis in rats.
abstract: The antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase have been observed to be effective antiphlogistic agents in severe experimental allergic uveitis induced by retinal S antigen in rats. The role that the high concentration of antioxidants found in the eye may play in modulating acute inflammation is discussed.
