The effect of topical l-epinephrine on regional ocular blood flow in monkeys.
نویسنده
چکیده
A 25 microliter volume of a 1-% l-epinephrine borate solution applied on the cornea of one eye in 12 monkeys reduced blood flow through the iris and the ciliary body by 59% and 20%, respectively, compared to the untreated control eyes. In the ciliary body the main effect was in the ciliary processes. Blood flow was determined with the labeled microsphere method 1, 4, and 6 hr after application of the drug. The average blood flow reductions were of the same order in the three groups, indicating a duration of at least 6 hr. No effect on blood flow through the retina or the choroid was observed.

Objective(s): In the present study the effect of stress on monkeys that had learned to retrieve food from a five-chamber receptacle, as well as the relationship between their behavior and the serum cortisol and epinephrine levels and relative size of the amygdala was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Six male rhesus monkeys were individually given access to the food reward orderly. They could e...

There is a conflicting literature regarding the possible presence of adrenergic innervation of the retinal circulation. The effect of a histologically confirmed left superior cervical ganglionectomy on the total retinal blood flow in eight anaesthetised female cynomolgus monkeys was determined. Near total unilateral ocular sympathetic denervation was confirmed by ipsilateral miosis, supersensit...
متن کاملThe effect of topical timolol on epinephrine-stimulated aqueous humor flow in sleeping humans.
PURPOSE It has been shown that intravenously administered epinephrine can increase the rate of aqueous humor flow in sleeping humans. This experiment was conducted to determine if this stimulatory effect can be blocked by the beta-adrenergic antagonist timolol. METHODS Twenty normal human subjects were studied for one sleep cycle at night. Epinephrine was infused intravenously at a rate of 1 ...
متن کاملThe acute effect of topical epinephrine on macular blood flow in humans.
The acute effect of topical epinephrine HCl 2% on macular capillary blood flow was studied in 18 healthy human volunteers using the blue-field simulation technique. This technique provides a method for quantifying the velocity of leukocytes flowing in macular capillaries. Subjects adjusted the velocity of simulated leukocytes on a computer screen to match that of their own entoptically perceive...
