Table 1. Levels of SOD3 in the culture media and cell layers in bullous keratopathy, keratoconus and normal fibroblastic keratocyte cell lines

The levels of SOD3 in the culture media and cell layers in bullous keratopathy (n=7), keratoconus (n=9), and normal (n=8) fibroblastic keratocyte cell lines after 24-96 h of culture, means ±SEM. All SOD3 levels are normalized to the protein or DNA levels present in the cell layer after 96 h of culture. The asterisk indicates significant change compared to the corresponding untreated control wells (p<0.05); the hash mark indicates that the induced change from the corresponding, untreated control wells differs significantly from both other groups (p<0.05).
