Le monoxyde d'azote, bio-marqueur de l'uvéite auto-immune expérimentale induite par l'antigène S

This study indicated in vivo elevation of NO levels, which was observed before retinal tissue damage. Nitric oxide appears to be a good marker for a poor prognosis in this experimental model. Moreover, oxidative stress can be considered the primary step in pathogenesis inducing the destruction of retinal photoreceptors. Collectively, our data could be helpful in the development of strategies for diagnosing patients with Behçet uveitis.
