Effects of adrenergic drugs on aqueous humour dynamics in the normal human eye. I. Salbutamol.

چکیده
The immediate effects of topical salbutamol, a beta 2 adrenergic agonist, on the aqueous humour dynamics of 22 normal subjects was studied by fluorophotometry and tonography. Significant lowering of intraocular pressure was accompanied by a significant increase in both aqueous flow rate and tonographic facility of outflow. Uveoscleral outflow was calculated and found to be significantly increased by salbutamol. This appeared to be the predominant acute pressure lowering effect of beta receptor stimulation in the normal human eye.

One characteristic of the most common types of glaucoma is increased intraocular pressure (IOP), which has a damaging effect on optic nerve axons, leading to progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells. Therefore, ocular hypotensive drugs are the mainstay of pharmacological therapy for glaucoma. This review article, which is the first part of a two-part series, is dedicated to autonomic drugs wh...

hovers near venous pressure. A study of glaucoma patients, in whom intraocular pressure is much higher, might yield different results. It appears that aand /3-adrenergic drugs have effects on the ciliary body in its production of aqueous humor. Beta antagonists seem to decrease aqueous formation, and beta agonists seem to increase formation. Unblocked alpha agonists appear to decrease aqueous f...

Background and purpose: The adrenergic system is known to have modulatory influence on anxiety-related behaviour both in human and animals. Dorsal hippocampus is an important brain site in modulation of neurotransmittery and neuroendocrinology of anxiety. The present study, was designed to evaluate the interactions between adrenergic and opioidergic systems in dorsal hippocampus on anxiety. Ma...
