Lactate levels in the rabbit cornea and aqueous humor subsequent to non-gas permeable contact lens wear. 1985

J P Bergmanson, and J Johnsson, and P G Söderberg, and B T Philipson

The validity of using the aqueous humor lactate concentration as an indicator of corneal lactate production was tested. For this purpose, ten rabbits wore non-gas permeable contact lenses on one eye for 12 hours. Aqueous humor and corneal extracts were assayed for lactate by means of an enzymatic technique. The contact lens wear caused a limited increment in the corneal lactate concentration, but no change was recorded in the aqueous humor. We therefore conclude that the corneal lactate production has a negligible effect on the lactate concentration in aqueous humor. However, significant individual variations in lactate levels were recorded in the present study, as in earlier ones. Insufficient specificity in the currently used techniques for lactic acid concentration determination may in part explain this.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001082 Aqueous Humor The clear, watery fluid which fills the anterior and posterior chambers of the eye. It has a refractive index lower than the crystalline lens, which it surrounds, and is involved in the metabolism of the cornea and the crystalline lens.
