EFFECT OF OUABAIN ON ACTIVE TRANSPORT OF SODIUM IN THE CORNEA.

摘要: Introduction Ouabain (G-Strophanthin) inhibits the activity of Na-K activated adenosinetriphosphatase (ATPase) in vitro and vivo systems. 1-3 The active transport Na K across membranes frog skin erythrocytes is also inhibited by ouabain. 4,5 Simon Bonting 6 have shown ATPase to be present ciliary body Administration ouabain resulted a decrease aqueous flow drop intraocular pressure, presumably due an inhibition sodium epithelium. 6A corneal epithelium actively transports sodium, 7 but enzyme has not yet been demonstrated this tissue. It was purpose investigation study effect on Method A technique for maintaining rabbit corneas alive between two Lucite chambers so that
