Abstract
We evaluated the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is known to inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent apoptosis, on high glucose-induced ROS, apoptosis, inflammation, and delayed-wounding closure in primary cultured human conjunctival epithelial cells (pHCECs), and the regulatory effects of cleaved caspase-3, BAX, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB), IL-6, and TNF-α on these processes.High glucose-induced ROS generation was measured using...
