Purpose: Endothelins (ET) have some effects on the regulation of aqueous humor dynamics.
To investigate their possible role in glaucoma, we measured plasma and aqueous humor ET
levels in patients with and without primary open-angle glaucoma. Methods: Plasma and
aqueous humor samples were obtained from 31 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma
and 24 patients without glaucoma. Measurements were made by radioimmunoassay (RIA)
for ETs with the following crossreactivities: ET-1, ET-2, and big ET-1, 100%; and ET-3, 70 …
