Inhibitory Effects of Glucosamine on Endotoxin-Induced Uveitis in Lewis Rats

Abstract

GS suppresses EIU in rats by blockading the NF-kappaB-dependent signaling pathway and the subsequent production of ICAM-1 and proinflammatory mediators. This study has extended the authors' previous observation that GS is a potentially important compound for reducing ICAM-1-mediated inflammatory effects in the eye.
