title: Modulation of experimental phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis with the antioxidants sodium benzoate, and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
abstract: The antioxidants sodium benzoate and 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid reduced the inflammatory response in experimental phacoanaphylactic endophthalmitis. The 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid was by far the more effective antiphlogistic agent. The molecular mechanisms that may have contributed to the observed difference in antiphlogistic activity are discussed.
