title: [The effect of carnosine on inflammatory processes during contusion of the eyeball].
abstract: The effect of dipeptide carnosine on proteolytic processes accompanying inflammation was investigated in lacrimal fluid of patients with eyeball contusion. Eye drops containing 5% carnosine in combination with traditional treatment reduced elastase-like activity in lacrimal fluid and increased effectiveness of therapy.
