Residual deformations in ocular tissues.
Residual deformations strongly influence the local biomechanical environment in a number of connective tissues. The sclera is known to be biomechanically important in healthy and diseased eyes, such as in glaucoma. Here, we study the residual deformations of the sclera, as well as the adjacent choroid and retina. Using freshly harvested porcine eyes, we developed two approaches of quantifying r...
متن کاملSex of nuclei in ocular tissues.
BARR AND BERnTAM (1949), reporting their observations on small chromatin bodies lying adjacent to the large nucleoli in nerve cells of the cat, pointed out for the first time that these peculiar structures, known then as " nucleolar satellites", were related to the sex of the animal, being found frequently in the female and seldom in the male. It has since been shown that this chromatin mass, n...
متن کاملImmunoreactive endothelin distribution in ocular tissues.
PURPOSE To study the distribution of the endothelins in the eye using ocular tissues of human, rat, and porcine origin. METHODS Extracts of ocular tissues were examined for immunoreactivity to endothelin 1 and 3 and pro-endothelin 1 using radioimmunoassay. Characterization of immunoreactivity was verified using high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Immunoreactivity to endothelin 1...
متن کاملPhosphatase activity in the ocular tissues.
This specific phosphatase is a 5-nucleotidase; it differs from the alkaline phosphatase in its range of action and in its optimal pH. Whereas alkaline phosphatase, which is non-specific, hydrolyses a great variety of phosphoric esters, the 5-nucleotidase hydrolyses only nucleotides with the phosphate group attached to the fifth carbon of the pentose, that is, muscle adenylic acid (adenosine-5-m...
متن کاملDistribution of thioltransferase (glutaredoxin) in ocular tissues.
PURPOSE A new redox regulating enzyme, thioltransferase (TTase), has been found in the lens. The authors investigated whether TTase is also present in other ocular tissues. METHODS Fresh enucleated bovine eyes were obtained from a local abattoir 4 hours after death. The eyes were processed immediately to remove corneal epithelial cells, conjunctiva, corneal endothelial cells, iris, ciliary bo...
