## Abstract Highβaffinity uptake, potassiumβstimulated release and receptor binding of Ξ³βaminobutyric acid (GABA) and taurine were studied in retinas of rats treated with monosodium glutamate (MSG) or iodoacetateβmalate (IAM). Such treatments produce a selective damage of the inner retinal layers (
To promote studies on the human retina, we investigated the survival of function in postmortem specimens. Visual pigment has been regenerated in normal human retinas, 5 to 58 hours postmorten, by exposure to retinal isomers in the dark. Levels from 0.1 to 0.41 nmol/ mg protein were reached. Photores
