Tetracosactide (Synacthen, Ciba) increases the concentration of corticosterone in the aqueous humour of the rabbit eye. The maximal increase, about 5-fold of the basal level, occurs with a slight delay of approximately 30 min after the maximally stimulated corticosterone level in blood plasma. Glucocorticoid elevation is paralleled by an increase of protein content and a slight rise of glucose in aqueous. A disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier by ACTH similar to the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone is suggested.
