Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate increases the outflow of aqueous humor from the rabbit eye.

چکیده
Direct administration of cyclic-AMP into the anterior chamber increases the outflow facility of the eye for aqueous humor. This is consistent with the hypothesis that catecholamines lower the intraocular pressure of the rabbit eye, at least in part, by a cyclic-AMP-mediated mechanism. This mechanism is active in the outflow channels and increases the rate at which aqueous humor leaves the anterior chamber.

Adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate analogue increases the outflow facility of the primate eye.
Our previous studies showed that cyclic-AMP increases the outflow facility of the eye of the rabbit. In this investigation, an analogue of cyclic-AMP, the 8-methylthio derivative, perfused into the anterior chamber of the eye of the vervet monkey, increased outflow facility twofold. This observation supports the hypothesis that cyclic-AMP mediates the action of adrenergic agents to reduce intra...
متن کاملIntraocular 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 ...
متن کاملHydraulic pressure stimulates adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate accumulation in endothelial cells from Schlemm's canal.
PURPOSE Fluid flow across various endothelia results in a variety of intracellular and extracellular adaptations. In the living eye, aqueous humor flows across the surface of endothelial cells on trabecular meshwork (TM) beams and in the juxtacanalicular tissue and through or between a continuous monolayer of endothelial cells that line Schlemm's canal (SC). This study was undertaken to test th...
متن کاملLevels of cyclic-AMP, cyclic-GMP and betamethasone in the aqueous humor following topical administration of betamethasone in rabbit eyes.
The levels of cyclic-AMP, cyclic-GMP and betamethasone (BM) in the aqueous humor and serum BM following topical treatment with BM were determined using radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods. One drop of a solution containing 0. 1%, 0. 5% or 1. 0% BM was applied to the rabbit eye of 6 rabbits. The left eyes served as controls. BM was detected in the aqueous humor from right eyes 15 minutes after admini...
متن کاملEffects of Al3+ and Be2+ ions combined with NaF on ciliary process adenylyl cyclase activity and aqueous humor dynamics in the rabbit eye.
PURPOSE The activity of Al3+, Ga3+, and Be2+ ions in the presence of NaF to directly activate G-proteins was investigated by their potentiative effect on forskolin (FSK)-activated adenylyl cyclase in rabbit ciliary process membranes and their effects on aqueous humor dynamics in vivo. METHODS Adenylyl cyclase (AC) was determined by radiometric conversion of ATP to cAMP by the particulate frac...
