- Normal-tension glaucoma which belongs to one of the types of glaucoma, is a disease that has recently received special attention due to its high prevalence.
- glaucoma is a disease in which the intraocular pressure (water pressure in the eyeball) is increased and the optic nerve is compressed, causing atrophy, thereby impairing visual function and narrowing the visual field.
- normotensive glaucoma has the same findings as glaucoma with high intraocular pressure, even though the intraocular pressure is in the normal range (normally 10 to 21 nmiHg in humans).
- Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in developed countries, after diabetes, and affects about 200,000 Japanese, or about 3.5% of people aged 40 or older.
- recent epidemiological studies report that 70% of these are normal tension glaucoma. Normal-tension glaucoma progresses slowly and has few subjective symptoms, making it difficult to detect it early. At present, there is no definitive treatment other than further lowering intraocular pressure.
- Glutamate is one of the major excitatory neurotransmitters in the mammalian central nervous system and plays an important role in higher brain functions, while glutamine It is known that an excessive increase in acid is neurotoxic, leading to various neurodegenerative diseases and delayed neuronal death after cerebral ischemia.
