The effects of the fl-adrenergic agonist nylidrin and the fl2-adrenergic agonist clenbuterol on electroretinogram and optic nerve response were studied in the isolated and arterially perfused, light-adapted cat eye. Two cone mechanisms, short wavelength-sensitive and long wavelength-sensitive, were

The eye IS scud to be. the most accumulatmg Ussue for &-adrenergx agonists m bovmes To avold ammal expenments, a perfusion system was developed for the eye Therefore the eyes were perfused vlil artena ophtahmca wth defined amounts of Rmger solution contammg 1 ng ml-' of the respectwe j?-agomst [clenbuterol, mabuterol, 2-ammo-3-chloro-5_(l'-hydroxy-2'-ammo-terf-butyletbylylethyl)Wrrdme (ACP), salbutamol and terbutahne] /3&omsts were extracted, cleaned-up mth ctidges contammg LChrospher 60 RP select-B and determmed by enzyme nnmunoassay The tests prove accumulation for other #I-agomsts also besldes clenbukrol and the accumulation shows good correspondence to the metabohc stab&y m the organism [clenbuterol > mabuterol > 2-ammo-3-chloro-5-(l'-hydroxy-2'-ammtie+butyl-ethyl) pyndme > salbutamol > terbutalme] The accumulation m retma + uvea was about 35 tunes higher than m vitreous humour + aqueous humour The amount of accumulated clenbuterol corresponds urlth the volume of perfused Rmger solution contammg the fi-agomst Prebmmary data mvestlgatmg the wsual system suggest a very weak, d any, mteracUon of @-agomsts Hntb opsm

## Abstract Central nervous system myelin deficiency is a consistent feature of caprine β‐mannosidosis, and autosomal recessive neurovisceral lysosomal storage disease. To investigate the possibility of an intrinsic oligodendrocyte defect in β‐mannosidosis, oligodendrocyte‐enriched glial cultures f
Brain macrophages (BM), a subpopulation of microglia, have the ability to kill neurons by producing reactive oxygen intermediates. Cocultures of neurons and macrophages derived from the cerebral cortex of rat embryos were used to look for regulation of BM neurotoxicity. Isoproterenol (lop7 M), a p-a
Bulblet and callus cultures of Lilium testaceum were initiated in vitro from bulbscales. Continous propagation of the bulblet cultures was achieved on a modified Murashige and Skoog agar medium containing 1-naphthalene acetic acid (0.1 mg/l) and kinetin (0.1 mg/l) as phytohormones. The in vitro grow
