Effect of ocular pressure on choroidal circulation in the cat and Rhesus monkey.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the heated thermocouple principle to monitor blood flow-rate in the choroid of the anesthetized cat and Rhesus monkey revealed that elevation of ocular pressure reduces blood flow-rate in the choroidal circulation. The magnitude of this effect at varying levels of ocular pressure led to the conclusion that the vascular bed of the choroid in these experimental animals is a passive one without evidence of active regulation.

Myocardial Infarction in a Rhesus Monkey
Myocardial necrosis can be result from a number of causes including nutritional deficiencies, chemical and plant toxins, ischemia and metabolic disorder. The outcome of myocardial necrosis varies depending on the extent of the damage (Donald 2001, Jubb 1993, Radostits 1994, Vanvaleet 1986). Myocardial infarction without demonstrable of atherosclerosis were reported in a rhesus macaque (Gonder 1...
متن کاملBlood flow after retinal ischemia in cats.
PURPOSE To determine the changes in blood flow in the cat retina after 1 hour of ischemia. METHODS Blood flow in the retina and choroid of adult cats anesthetized with chloralose, acepromazine, and halothane was measured using sequential injections of radioactively labeled microspheres. Ischemia was induced by elevation of intraocular pressure above systolic arterial pressure. Measurements we...
متن کاملComparison of the hypotensive and other ocular effects of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha on cat and rhesus monkey eyes.
It is generally accepted that exogenous or endogenous prostaglandins (PGs) can give rise to acute increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) and to the development of flare and other signs of uveitis. It was recently shown, however, that low doses of PGE2 and/or PGF2 alpha topically applied to rabbit or owl monkey eyes significantly reduce IOP. The present experiments show that topical application...
