The type and level of fatty acids in the sera were measured by gas chromatography (Model GC17A; Shimazu, Kyoto, Japan). Twenty-four fatty acids were identified from 12:0 to 24:1. The values were compared between the normal-tension glaucoma and control groups by Mann&ndash;Whitney U tests.Results: No statistically significant difference was found in the levels of any free fatty acids between the normal-tension glaucoma group and control group.Conclusion: No significant association was found in the serum free fatty acids levels including docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid between normal-tension glaucoma patients and controls.Keywords: free fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, normal tension glaucoma Kenya YukiItaru KimuraKazuo TsubotaDove Medical PressarticleOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol 2010, Iss default, Pp 91-94 (2010)
