The effects of K+ concentration in the perfusate on ERG were examined in bullfrog neural retina-retinal pigment epithelium-choroid preparations. In the range of K+ concentration between 1.0 and 6.0 mM, an increase in K+ concentration caused a decline in the b-wave amplitude, while leaving the b-wave peak latency almost unchanged. An increase in K+ concentration in the range between 1.0 and 3.0 mM enhanced the c-wave amplitude, while an increase in K+ concentration in the range between 4.0 and 6.0 mM diminished it. An increase in K+ concentration tended to shorten the time course of the c-wave. These results suggest that variations in the K+ concentration in tissue fluid may partially account for the marked inter- and intra-individual variations of the c-wave.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010857 Pigment Epithelium of Eye The layer of pigment-containing epithelial cells in the RETINA; the CILIARY BODY; and the IRIS in the eye. Eye Pigment Epithelium
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D011892 Rana catesbeiana A species of the family Ranidae (true frogs). The only anuran properly referred to by the common name "bullfrog", it is the largest native anuran in North America. Bullfrog,Bullfrogs,Rana catesbeianas,catesbeiana, Rana
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D002829 Choroid The thin, highly vascular membrane covering most of the posterior of the eye between the RETINA and SCLERA. Choriocapillaris,Haller Layer,Haller's Layer,Sattler Layer,Sattler's Layer,Choroids
D004596 Electroretinography Recording of electric potentials in the retina after stimulation by light. Electroretinographies
D005110 Extracellular Space Interstitial space between cells, occupied by INTERSTITIAL FLUID as well as amorphous and fibrous substances. For organisms with a CELL WALL, the extracellular space includes everything outside of the CELL MEMBRANE including the PERIPLASM and the cell wall.
