Tear EGF Concentration Following Corneal Epithelial Wound Creation
Abstract
The effect of corneal epithelial wound creation on epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentration in tears was evaluated in order to better understand the effects of EGF on the wound healing process. The tears of New Zealand white rabbits were sampled by micropipette one day prior to wounding, immediately prior to the creation of a 7.5 mm diameter anterior keratectomy wound, immediately following wound creation, and at 1, 2, 3, 7, and 14 days …
