Iris arteriolar diameters in hypoxia and hyperoxia: a photographic study in albino guinea pigs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The irides of albino guinea pigs were photographed, and the iris arteriolar diameters were measured with the animal breathing room air, 10% O2/90% N2, or 100% O2. The iris arterioles constrict significantly in hyperoxia and dilate in hypoxia. The average constriction in 100% O2 was 27% +/- 8%, and the average dilatation in 10% oxygen was 34% +/- 20%.

Introduction: Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used antineoplastic drugs; nonetheless, its ototoxic dose-limiting side effects have remained a significant challenge in clinical practice. The recognition of the exact template of hearing loss induced by multiple low doses of cisplatin could be of great help in managing the treatment process. The present study aimed to investigate the e...

PURPOSE To compare emmetropization in albino and pigmented guinea pigs. METHODS Distributions of refractive state were examined in 214 albino and 234 pigmented guinea pigs. Albino (A) and pigmented (P) guinea pigs were divided into two groups, hyperopic (H) and myopic (M). Eye development was separately followed in 10 randomly selected animals from each group (AH, AM, PH, PM) from 2 to 10 wee...
متن کاملA comparison of virulence of intraperitoneal infection of Burkholderia mallei strains in guinea-pigs
Male guinea pigs show high susceptibility to Burkholderia mallei and have been used as animal models in glanders studies. The purpose of our study was to elucidate glanders comparative pathogenesis in guinea pigs. We present here the histological changes and bacterial isolation that develop over time in guinea pigs inoculated intraperitoneally (IP) with two strain of B. mallei. Ten male guinea ...
