Analysis of ascorbate concentration in the aqueous humor by high-pressure liquid chromatography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high-pressure liquid chromatography instrument has been used to establish a method for the analyses of ascorbate concentration in aqueous humor. The method detects only the reduced form of ascorbate. The values obtained by this method are very similar to those of the colorimetric method. The ascorbate value in a group of random samples obtained from human glaucoma eyes varied between 3.5 to 31 mg. per cent, independent to blood ascorbate concentration.

Impact of the environment on the mammalian corneal epithelium.
PURPOSE To evaluate whether the content of ascorbic acid in the corneal epithelium and aqueous humor reflects seasonal fluctuations in parallel with environmental changes. METHODS Reindeer, cattle, rabbits, and humans were examined, to cover a broad spectrum of overlapping habitats. Ascorbic acid was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The thickness of the corneal epithelium...
متن کاملTissue Distribution of trans-Resveratrol and Its Metabolites after Oral Administration in Human Eyes
Purpose. This study was performed to measure the concentration of trans-resveratrol and its three metabolites in human eyes. Methods. The patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were included. The participants were orally given trans-resveratrol-based supplement (Longevinex®). A suitable amount of conjunctiva, aqueous humor, and vitreous humor were obt...
متن کاملAqueous humor messengers in the transient decrease of intraocular pressure after ganglionectomy.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) decreases in rabbits 1 day after superior cervical ganglionectomy. It was hypothesized that this IOP decrease was caused by an accumulation of norepinephrine (NE) released from the iris-ciliary body into the aqueous humor during nerve degeneration. Direct measurement of aqueous humor NE concentration, however, was not successful because of the technical difficulty. In...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the aqueous humor concentrations of bimatoprost acid after topical instillation in rabbits of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01% and bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%, two commercially available intraocular pressure-lowering medications. METHODS Male Dutch Belted rabbits were divided into two teratment groups (four rabbits/eight eyes per...

PURPOSE To investigate the penetration of 0.3% gatifloxacin ophthalmic gel, 0.3% gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution and 0.5% levofloxacin ophthalmic solution into aqueous humor after topical application. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age-related cataract patients (150 eyes in 150 cases) receiving phacoemulsification were randomly divided into three groups: a 0.3% gatifloxacin gel group (n=50), a 0.3% g...
