KR-31378, a Potassium-Channel Opener, Induces the Protection of Retinal Ganglion Cells in Rat Retinal Ischemic Models

KR-31378 is a newly developed KATP-channel opener. To investigate the ability of KR-31378 to protect retinal ganglion cells (RGC), experiments were conducted using two retinal ischemia models. Retinal ischemia was induced by transient high intraocular pressure (IOP) for acute ischemia and by three e...
