Increased concentration of glucocorticoid receptors in rabbit iris--ciliary body compared to rabbit liver.

چکیده
Dexamethasone binding to both rabbit iris-ciliary body and rabbit liver glucocorticoid receptors was compared by means of a batch assay in which the binding components were adsorbed to hydroxylapatite. The results showed that homogenates of both the rabbit iris-ciliary body and the rabbit liver contained a single class of high-affinity receptors. Binding affinity was virtually identical for the two receptors. A comparison of total binding sites in homogenates of the iris-ciliary body and the liver revealed that the iris-ciliary body glucocorticoid receptor was present in nearly twice the concentration of the hepatic receptor.

Characteristics of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine binding to iris-ciliary body tissue of the rabbit.
PURPOSE This study sought to identify, characterize, and localize subtypes of 5-hydroxytryptamine (HT) receptors in rabbit iris-ciliary body. METHODS Radioligand binding assays were performed with [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine on membranes prepared from rabbit iris-ciliary bodies and on tissue sections subsequently developed by autoradiography. RESULTS [3H]5-HT appeared to bind to a single popula...
متن کاملA Histochemical Study of the Adrenergic and Cholinergic Innervation of the Anterior Segment of the Rabbit Eye.
The innervation of the anterior segment of the albino rabbit eye was studied with both the histofluorometric technique of Falck for adrenergic fibers and the thiocholine method for cholinergic fibers. Adrenergic fibers were found in heavy concentration in the iris dilator, ciliary processes, and around blood vessels. In lesser number adrenergic fibers were seen in the cornea and filtration area...
متن کاملNuclear translocation of the cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor in the iris--ciliary body of the rabbit.
The cytoplasmic glucocorticoid receptor of the iris--ciliary body of the rabbit has been shown to translocate to the cell nucleus within 30 min of an injection of cortisol. Over the next 2 1/2 hr the amount of receptor returns to the control value. The threshold of the loss of receptor from the cytosol was found at 0.04 mg of cortisol per kilogram body weight, with a maximal loss being reached ...
متن کاملThe concentration of phenothiazines in the eye of experimental animals.
Derivatives of IS!-substituted phenothiazine are concentrated in the tissues of the uveal tract of pigmented animals. The concentration levels for phenothiazine in the uveal tissue may reach 50 times the mean distribution value even 48 hours after a single dose of 5 mg. per kilogram. All other tissues have lower concentration levels than the mean distribution value. Only samples involved in exc...
متن کاملMuscarinic cholinergic inhibition of adenylate cyclase in the rabbit iris-ciliary body and ciliary epithelium.
The effects of cholinergic agents on hormone-stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation were investigated in iris-ciliary body segments, excised ciliary processes, and isolated ciliary epithelium from albino rabbit eyes. In all three tissue preparations, the cholinergic agonist carbamylcholine markedly inhibited the stimulation of cAMP biosynthesis by vasoactive intestinal peptide VIP--a potent ...
