Aqueous humour (AH) is an important intraocular fluid responsible for the supply of nutrients
to and removal of metabolic wastes from the avascular tissues of the eye. It is also …

This article discusses three largely unrecognized aspects related to fluid movement in ocular
tissues; namely,(a) the dynamic changes in water permeability observed in corneal and …

Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by progressive degeneration of retinal
ganglion cells (RGCs) and visual loss. Although one of the highest risk factors for glaucoma …

purpose. To study the physiological mechanisms of the Cl transport across the bovine ciliary
body-epithelium (CBE). methods. Fresh isolated bovine CBE was mounted in an Ussing …

purpose. To investigate the role of active chloride secretion by the ciliary epithelium in the
formation of aqueous humor (AH), by using the in vitro perfused eye. methods. Bovine eyes …

purpose. To evaluate the role of NaKCl cotransport in short-circuit current (Isc) and chloride
fluxes across rabbit ciliary epithelium mounted in a Ussing-type chamber. methods …

Medical therapy of glaucoma commonly aims at slowing aqueous humor formation by the
ocular ciliary epithelial bilayer, but underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The first …

Secretion of melatonin, a natural hormone whose receptors are present in the ciliary
epithelium, displays diurnal variation in the aqueous humor (AH), potentially contributing to …

The possible existence of transepithelial bicarbonate transport across the isolated bovine
ciliary body was investigated by employing a chamber that allows for the measurement of …

purpose. Recent evidence suggests that Na-K-Cl cotransport plays a major role in blood-to-
aqueous anion transport across the ciliary body epithelium. The present study was …
