✦ Synopsis

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 vortices had been ligated. After ligation of four vortex veins, the responses rapidly disappeared. Release of the occlusion twenty minutes later caused the b-wave to return to normal over a few hours' time, but the c-wave showed variable recovery and was replaced by a large slow pIII response in half of the experiments. These observations may reflect a combination of hypoxia and alterations in fluid movement that affect the status of the subretinal space.

The activity of the enzyme 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphohydrolase (CNPase, E.C.3.1.4.37) has been studied in the retina of three vertebrate species. Activity was highest in the goldfish, followed by Xenopus laevis and Rana pipiens. Also, high activity levels were found in goldfish retinal pigme

The purpose of this study was to determine the threshold energy for light-induced functional damage of the retinal pigment epithelium at various wavelengths. Retinas of 58 pigmented and 21 albino rabbits were exposed to low intensity broadband blue light (400-520 nm), yellow light (510-740 nm), and

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

## 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

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
