Catechol-o-methyl Transferase and Monoamine Oxidase Activity in the Ocular Tissues of Albino Rabbits.
The distribution of catechol-O-methyl transferase and monoamine oxidase activity in the ocular tissues of albino rabbits has been determined with a radioactive tracer assay. The distribution of the former varied in the different tissues within a restricted range whereas the distribution of monoamine oxidase activity exhibited larger variations. Sympathetic denervation did not appear to affect c...
متن کاملMechanical properties of murine and porcine ocular tissues in compression.
Sub-retinal implantation of foreign materials is becoming an increasingly common feature of novel therapies for retinal dysfunction. The ultimate compatibility of implants depends not only on their in vitro chemical compatibility, but also on how well the mechanical properties of the material match those of the native tissue. In order to optimize the mechanical properties of retinal implants, t...
متن کاملProstaglandin and thromboxane synthesis by microsomes of rabbit ocular tissues.
Microsomes of albino rabbit ocular tissues were incubated with (1-14C)-arachidonic acid for 15 min at 37 degrees C. Thin-layer chromatography revealed that ciliary body-iris microsomes were capable of synthesizing prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha), PGE2, PGD2, thromboxane B2(TXB2), and 6-keto-PGF1alpha. Indomethacin 14 micrometer in the incubation medium essentially abolished all prostaglandin ...
متن کاملSteroid metabolism in ocular tissues of the rabbit.
The metabolism of cortisol and other steroids was studied in normal untreated rabbit iris-ciliary body and cornea as part of an investigation into the mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced glaucoma. Cortisol is readily converted to the inactive metabolite cortisone by these eye tissues indicating the presence of an 11beta-oxidoreductase system. This reaction is reversible with cortisone being con...
متن کاملAnalysis of flavins in ocular tissues of the rabbit.
Riboflavin is the precursor of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), coenzymes required for the activity of flavoenzymes involved in the transfer of electrons in oxidation-reduction reactions. Flavins are light sensitive and rapidly degrade when exposed to light in the near ultraviolet and visible wavelengths. Some of the byproducts of flavin photodegradation are to...
