The glycocalyx layer on the vascular endothelium is known to have an important role as a
transport barrier and in the mechanotransduction of fluid shear stress. The detailed structure
and distribution of the glycocalyx in the bovine and human aqueous humor outflow
pathways has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine whether
this layer exists in the bovine and human aqueous outflow pathways and to compare the
distribution and thickness therein. Enucleated bovine (N= 4) and human (N= 4) eyes were …
