  1. The effects of Hyp-GQDGLAGPK and commercial medicines on tear production, epithelium stabilization, goblet cell density, and expression of inflammatory markers associated with dry eye disease are indicated as −, +, ++ and +++. No effect expressed as −; + indicated significantly different at DS 10d, but no difference with normal saline; ++ indicated significantly different with DS 10d and normal saline group; +++ indicated similar to baseline.
