The levels of salusin-α, salusin-β, copeptin, and asprosin in tears and venous blood samples were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).<h4>Results</h4>Patients with open-angle glaucoma and those with ocular hypertension showed statistically significantly decreased levels of salusin-α and salusin-β in their blood and tears compared with those of control subjects (p<0.05), with the decrease being the most pronounced in patients with ocular hypertension (p<0.05). This evidence concerns the gene AVP and ocular hypertension.
