Band keratopathy in MRL/l and MRL/n mice. 1983

R W Hoffman, and H K Yang, and K S Waggie, and J B Durham, and J R Burge, and S E Walker

To define ocular abnormalities in mice with autoimmune disease, we performed biomicroscopic examinations and examined ocular tissue in MRL/l, MRL/n, NZB, NZB/NZW, and Palmerston North mice. Results were compared with MRL/Mp--lpr/lpr, C57BL/6J--lpr/lpr, and normal control strains. Eighty-seven percent of MRL/l and MRL/n mice had typical band keratopathy; this was confirmed by histologic examination. Posterior uveitis was found in 35% of adult MRL/l mice. MRL substrains are potentially important models of ocular disease.

D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
