Abstract
The effects of ocular acute hypertension experimentally induced on the astr ocyte cells of rat have been studied. Evaluation was made of the damage to the chromatin of those cells by means of cytochemical (haematoxylin-eosin) analysis and of the state of fragmentation of the DNA by means of the TUNEL technique as well as the protective effect of the peroxide scavenger, trox ol, on those events.
