Abstract

Physiological Characteristics Diffusion of Fluid in the Lens and Vitreous Chamber of Rabbits

Liudmila Stepanova*, Georgy Sychev, Olga Svetlova

The  purpose  of  this  study  was  to  identify  the  mechanisms  of water-exchange  processes  in  the  lens  and  the  vitreous  chamber of a rabbit. Fluid transport processes in the lens were studied in vitro  by  the  change  in  mass  when  immersed  in  the  washing environments of the lenses, with the addition of an inhibitor of the active transport system  Na+,K+-ATPase  and  without it.  The direction of movement of aqueous humor was studied in vivo by the  displacement  of  the  fluorescein  using  biomicroscopy  and "stopped  diffusion".
