Abstract:The concentration of free amino acids in the aqueous humor just prior to cataract extraction was determined. Pretreatment with acetazolamide generally increased the concentration of free amino acids in the aqueous humor but not in the plasma. The possible implications of the elevated concentration of free amino acids in the aqueous fluid are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
