Increased Hyaluronan Synthase-2 mRNA Expression and Hyaluronan Accumulation with Choroidal Thickening: Response during Recovery from Induced Myopia

摘要

Significant increases in hyaluronan (HA) are readily detectable in chick choroids during the process of recovery from form-deprivation myopia. This HA accumulation is initiated by a rapid increase in choroidal expression of the HAS2 gene in response to myopic defocus.
