| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was originally to investigate the effect of anti-mitochondrial calpain-1 peptide on glaucomatous neuronal damage in the GLAST knockout (KO) mice, which is known to be a type of normal tension glaucoma. Although the study delayed because of weak fertility of the GLAST KO mice, we established the longitudinal change in the retinal layer thickness using optical coherent tomography.
