Increased procollagenase activating angiogenic factor in the vitreous humour of oxygen treated kittens.

چکیده
Previous studies have demonstrated an increase in a low molecular weight angiogenic factor (ESAF) present in the retinae of kittens with oxygen induced retinopathy. The present paper describes differences in the quantity of ESAF extracted from the vitreous humour of control and oxygen treated animals and proposes a mechanism for the induction of intravitreal neovascularisation.

Angiogenic activity of vitreous and retinal extract.
An angiogenic activity was demonstrated in both vitreous and retina by two assay systems using rabbit corneal micropocket technique and aortic endothelial cell culture. With the former technique, the only demonstrable angiogenic activity was found in vitreous of dogs 8 days of age or younger, with or without oxygen treatment. However, with the assay using aortic endothelial cell culture, angiog...
متن کاملMovement-Artefact-Free Measurement of T1 in the Human Eye to Determine Oxygenation of the Vitreous Humour
Background: Eye measurements are complicated by eye movement since subjects frequently find the need to blink [1]; suppression of blinking beyond about 3 s can be painful. Although eye drops could be used, these must be administered by skilled personnel. We demonstrate a method for rapid imaging of eye movement and have developed an imaging technique that reduces this movement and permits the m...
متن کاملCOMPARISON OF THE EFFECT OF EIGHT WEEKS OF MODERATE CONTINUOUS AND SEVER INTERVAL TRAINING ON CARDIAC ANGIOGENESIS IN WISTAR MALE DIABETIC RATS
Background: Diabetic cardiomyopathy is the first cause of death in diabetic patients and angiogenesis is the most important mechanism for the recovery of heart blood flow in physiologic and pathologic conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of eight weeks of moderate continuous and sever interval training on heart angiogenesis in Wistar male diabetic rats. Methods: 32 W...
متن کاملFree amino acid content of the vitreous humour in cot deaths.
The concentration of 27 amino acids in the vitreous humour was analysed in 120 cot deaths. Baseline data for age and postmortem interval are presented and the concentrations compared with the normal reference range for plasma. The results do not indicate that a specific aminoacidopathy is a factor in cot deaths.
متن کاملTherapeutic Potential of Anti-Angiogenic Multitarget N,O-Sulfated E. Coli K5 Polysaccharide in Diabetic Retinopathy.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) blockers have been developed for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), the leading cause of visual impairments in the working-age population in the Western world. However, limitations to anti-VEGF therapies may exist because of the local production of other proangiogenic factors that may cause resistance to anti-VEGF interventions. ...
