Elevated aqueous humour tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1 and connective tissue growth factor in pseudoexfoliation syndrome

Table 2

 Aqueous humour assay values in experimental groups (II)

Group Mean (SEM) (ng/ml)
TIMP-1 CTGF
The group means were compared and analysed using Fisher’s PLSD test and Bonferroni/Dunn test after one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated a significant difference (StatView, SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).
*p <0.01 compare with control (significant for both Fisher’s PLSD and Bonferroni/Dunn tests).
TIMP-1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1; CTGF, connective tissue growth factor; PXF, pseudoexfoliation syndrome.
PXF without glaucoma 8.84 (1.34)* (n = 37) 2.73 (0.45) (n = 18)
PXF with glaucoma 11.55 (1.88)* (n = 19) 6.03 (1.09)* (n = 18)
Control 5.73 (0.43) (n = 112) 2.35 (0.46) (n = 29)
