Turnover of thiourea in the aqueous humors of the rabbit eye.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rate of accumulation of C-labeled thiourea in the aqueous humor of the anterior and posterior chambers of rabbits has been studied. The coefficients of transport by flow and diffusion and the concentration in the "secreted fluid" have been evaluated and compared with corresponding values for urea. The remits demonstrate that thiourea penetrates both the iris and ciliary processes more rapidly than urea, an effect ascribed to its greater lipoid solubility.

Intraocular dynamics of lactic acid in the rabbit.
Lactic acid is found in the aqueous humor at a concentration higher than that in the blood. The processes which determine this distribution have been investigated in the rabbit. After parenteral injection of isotopically labeled lactate, samples of intraocular fluids and plasma were taken and analyzed for radioactivity. It was found that lactate entered the posterior aqueous fairly rapidly from...

Introduction: Retinoblastoma is a malignant tumor in children. The goal of retinoblastoma treatment is to maintain vision and minimize side effects. In this study, the toxicity of the gold nanoparticle safety in vitro was investigated on an eye tumor of retinoblastoma under in vivo conditions. Materials and Methods: For the evaluation of the toxicity of gold nanoparticles using MTT test after 4...
متن کاملMetabolomic profiling of reactive persulfides and polysulfides in the aqueous and vitreous humors
We investigate the metabolomic profile of reactive persulfides and polysulfides in the aqueous and vitreous humors. Eighteen eyes of 18 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic retinopathy underwent microincision vitrectomy combined with cataract surgery. Samples of the aqueous and vitreous humors were collected and underwent mass spectrometry-based metabolomic profiling of...
متن کاملFleroxacin pharmacokinetics in aqueous and vitreous humors determined by using complete concentration-time data from individual rabbits.
Although composite data from separate subjects can be used to generate single-subject estimates, intersubject variation precludes rigorous ocular pharmacokinetic analysis. Therefore, a rabbit model in which sequential aqueous and vitreous humor samples were obtained following the administration of the quinolone fleroxacin was developed. Mean data from individual animals were used for pharmacoki...
