Free amino acids composition of aqueous humor from Pakistani subjects with senile cataract.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Free amino acids content of aqueous humor in Pakistani subjects with senile cataract is measured and results are compared with previous studies Most of the amino acids showed lower concentration than those reported for European’ and American2 subjects (JPMA 37 67, 1987).

Amino acid concentrations in serum and aqueous humor from subjects with extreme myopia or senile cataract.
With an amino acid analyzer, we measured amino acids and related compounds in serum and aqueous humor from normal Chinese and some patients with extreme myopia or senile cataracts. Forty peaks were well resolved, and their areas were used to quantify each compound. In the myopic patients, glutamate, alpha-aminoadipate, and methionine concentrations in serum were 10-fold those in the normal subj...
متن کاملAmino Acid Transport in the Lens in Relation to Sugar Cataracts.
The steady state distribution of free amino acids between the lens and aqueous humor is significantly reduced in diabetic rabbits and also in rats fed rations containing high concentrations of xylose or galactose. The reduction in the level of amino acids in the lens is apparently a direct effect of the high concentration of sugars, but it is doubtful whether it is related to cataract formation.
متن کاملFree amino acid concentration in aqueous humour of patients with nuclear or cortical cataract
Aim: Since the free amino acids (a.a.) and derivated a.a. compounds in physiological fluids might reflect physiological or pathological conditions, some researchers have investigated the correlation of a.a. concentrations in physiological fluids with some clinical conditions, including ocular diseases. Here, we aimed to compare free and derivated a.a. in nuclear (generally a physiologic conditi...
متن کاملLevels of cytokines in the aqueous humor of eyes with primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and cataract
OBJECTIVE The focus of this study aimed at measuring multiple inflammatory cytokines levels in the aqueous humor of patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) and senile cataract. METHODS This case control study was conducted at the Research Institute of Ophthalmology, Giza, Egypt in 2016. Aqueous humor (AH) samples were withdrawn from 50 patients (30 ...
متن کاملReference interval for phosphohexose isomerase activity in aqueous humor.
A solitary report in the literature suggests that determination of phosphohexose isomerase (PHI; glucosephosphate isomerase, EC 5.3.1.9) activity in aqueous humor and serum may be a useful adjunct in the diagnosis f retinoblastoma (1). The aqueous humor/serum PHI ratio of 20 patients with retinoblastoma was compared with that for eight “controls” having intraocular diseases other than retinobla...
