Estimation of sodium fusidate levels in human serum, aqueous humour, and vitreous body.

Estimation of sodium fusidate levels in human serum, aqueous humour, and vitreous body.

Comparison of aqueous humour and serum zinc levels in humans.

Zinc concentrations in aqueous humour and serum were determined by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry in 11 patients with cataract. The zinc content of the aqueous humour was found to be considerably lower than the corresponding serum values. From this finding it is suggested that aqueous humour does not serve as a likely route of delivery of zinc to the cornea.

Rheological behaviour of vitreous humour

The vitreous humour (VH) is a complex biofluid that occupies a large portion of the eyeball between the lens and the retina, and exhibits non-Newtonian rheological properties that are key for its function in the eye. It is often possible to distinguish two different phases in VH, known as liquid and gel phases (Sebag J Eye 1: 254–262, 1987). In this work, we present a detailed rheological chara...
