چکیده

Breakdown of the blood-aqueous barrier was produced by infrared radiation (IR) at a heat flux from 24 to 44 J/cm2 in pigmented, but not in albino rabbits. Blood-aqueous barrier breakdown was inhibited by indomethacin and ketamine/xylazine anesthesia mixtures, but not by [D-Trp2,D-Pro7,9]-substance P. The degree of blood-aqueous barrier breakdown could be controlled by IR flux. Two models for accurate determination of the heat flux are presented.

Interaction of adrenergic agents with alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone and infrared irradiation of the iris in the rabbit eye.

Breakdown of the blood aqueous barrier in the rabbit eye induces a protein leakage into the aqueous humor, seen as a flare in the anterior chamber. A barrier damage was induced by topical prostaglandin E2(PGE2), infrared irradiation of the iris, or alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) given subcutaneously. The aqueous flare was measured quantitatively by means of a photoelectric ins...

The effect of timolol maleate on the disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier in the rabbit eye.

A disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier in rabbit eyes was elicited by use of topical prostaglandin E2(PGE2), infrared irradiation of the iris, or by subcutaneous alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH). The aqueous flare provoked was measured quantitatively with a photoelectric instrument. The effect of the (topical) beta-adrenergic antagonist timolol maleate on the breakdown of the...

Effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide in the eye. A study in rabbits and cats.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has recently been demonstrated in sensory neurons of the eye. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of exogenous CGRP in the rabbit and cat eye. CGRP was injected intracamerally and the intraocular pressure was measured in cannulated eyes. The pupil diameter and the aqueous humor protein concentration were also measured. Indomethaci...

The insensitivity of the chicken eye to the inflammatory effects of x-rays in contrast to its sensitivity to other inflammatory agents.

The effects of x-rays and three chemical agents, known to cause intraocular inflammation in mammalian eyes, were studied on the chicken eye because this species was reported to be insensitive to the cataractogenic effects of x-rays. Intravitreal injection of Shigella endotoxin and topical and/or intravitreal administration of PGE2, PGF2alpha, or arachidonic acid caused a breakdown of the blood-...

Intraocular and cardiovascular effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-I and -II in the rabbit.

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide localized in the eye in the sensory nerves. In this study, the physiological effects of the two naturally occurring forms of human CGRP, CGRP-I, and -II, which differ only in three amino acids, have been demonstrated in the rabbit eye and cardiovascular system. Intravenously administered CGRP-I caused a biphasic increase in ...
