Fluorescein permeabilities of isolated dog retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid and sensory retina were measured individually. Retina to choroid (outward) permeability of sodium fluorescein was significantly larger than choroid to retina (inward) permeability at RPE-choroid under both open- and short-circuit conditions. Outward permeability was decreased by the addition of 10(-3) M KCN and of 10(-4) M probeneside but was not affected by 10(-6) M ouabain. These drugs decreased transepithelial potential and short-circuit current. No directional difference of fluorescein permeability for sensory retina was found. Active transport of fluorescein across RPE from retina to choroid is suggested. Fluorescein permeability of sensory retina was larger than inward but less than outward permeability of RPE-choroid. The result indicates that the sensory retina acts as a diffusion barrier for sodium fluorescein.

D011190 Potassium Cyanide A highly poisonous compound that is an inhibitor of many metabolic processes, but has been shown to be an especially potent inhibitor of heme enzymes and hemeproteins. It is used in many industrial processes. Potassium Cyanide (K(14)CN),Potassium Cyanide (K(C(15)N)),Cyanide, Potassium
D011339 Probenecid The prototypical uricosuric agent. It inhibits the renal excretion of organic anions and reduces tubular reabsorption of urate. Probenecid has also been used to treat patients with renal impairment, and, because it reduces the renal tubular excretion of other drugs, has been used as an adjunct to antibacterial therapy.

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
