The experiment with glaucoma model showed that dysregulation of endothelial factors of vascular tone (ET-1 and NO) determined the development of endothelial dysfunction. This process was intensified by hypercholesteremia, dyslipoproteidemia and high level of lipid peroxidation. Endothelial dysfunction induced changes in the eye hemo- and hydrodynamics as a development of ischemia-reperfusion injury of the eye nerve tissues. It let us consider this process to be pathogenetic one in glaucoma pathology.
