Human tears: osmotic characteristics.
Using a freezing point depression method, requiring volumes of only 200 nanoliters, the osmolalities of 324 tear samples collected at consecutive 10-minute intervals throughout 8.5-hour periods from each of six healthy young adults were measured. The population mean was found to be 318 mOsm/kg, with a population median of 315 mOsm/kg. Individual subject means ranged from 310 to 334 mOsm/kg. Sho...
متن کاملHuman tears contain a chemosignal.
Emotional tearing is a poorly understood behavior that is considered uniquely human. In mice, tears serve as a chemosignal. We therefore hypothesized that human tears may similarly serve a chemosignaling function. We found that merely sniffing negative-emotion-related odorless tears obtained from women donors induced reductions in sexual appeal attributed by men to pictures of women's faces. Mo...
متن کاملPresence of melatonin in human tears
Melatonin is a neurohormone mainly considered to be produced by the pineal gland.1 Melatonin is involved in processes such as the coordination of circadian rhythms, immunomodulation, as an antidepressant, antioxidant, regulation of sex organ maturation, in embryonic development of the eye, and as a regulator of intraocular pressure among other actions.2 Melatonin is synthesised and secreted in ...
متن کاملApplication of spectroscopic ellipsometry and Mueller ellipsometry to optical characterization.
This article provides a brief overview of both established and novel ellipsometry techniques, as well as their applications. Ellipsometry is an indirect optical technique, in that information about the physical properties of a sample is obtained through modeling analysis. Standard ellipsometry is typically used to characterize optically isotropic bulk and/or layered materials. More advanced tec...
متن کاملStructural investigations of human hairs by spectrally resolved ellipsometry.
Human hair is a biological layered system composed of two major layers, the cortex and the cuticle. We show spectrally resolved ellipsometry measurements of the ellipsometric parameters Psi and Delta of single human hairs. The spectra reflect the layered nature of hair and the optical anisotropy of the hair's structure. In addition, measurements on strands of human hair show a high reproducibil...
