title: [Effect of carnosine on intraocular pressure].
abstract: It has been demonstrated in experiments on non-anesthetized rabbits that conjunctival injection of carnosine (beta-alanyl 1-histidine) caused a decrease in normal intraocular pressure and reduced prostaglandin-induced ocular hypertension. The rapid onset of the pressure response and the absence of papillary dilation in rabbits treated with carnosine were observed. It is concluded that L-carnosine can be used as a potent drug for the prevention of reactive hypertension syndrome.
