There is no ideal electrophysiological test for retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) function. The light-induced responses (EOG, c-wave, fast oscillation) that require photoreception are not pure RPE signals, and even the widely-used EOG has not been associated with any specific physiological disturbanc

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is essential for retinoid recycling and phagocytosis of photoreceptors. Understanding of proteome changes that mediate oxidative stress-induced degeneration of RPE cells may provide further insight into the molecular mechanisms of retinal diseases. In the current
The c-wave and the electrooculogram (EOG) are retinal potentials predominantly generated by the pigment epithelium. In most diseases both parameters show a parallel decrease in amplitude. However, in patients with dominant drusen, and cone dystrophies, and in clinically nonaffected members of famili
## Background: The toad's (bufo marinus) retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) has been used in many studies as a model for understanding its role and interaction with the neural retina (nr). in this study, the fine structure of the rpe is described. ## Methods: In vitro rpe-chorion preparations from
Increased choroidal pressure and choroidal stasis were induced in Dutch rabbit eyes by tying off vortex veins. Ligating one to three vortex veins caused a progressive diminution in the b-and c-waves of the electroretinogram so that the amplitudes were approximately half of control values when three
