Effects of intravitreally injected DL-alpha-aminoadipic acid on the c-wave of the D.C.-recorded electroretinogram in albino rabbits. 1982

E Welinder, and O Textorius, and S E Nilsson

The D.C. electroretinogram of four adult albino rabbits was studied 13.5 to 15 hr after injection of 0.1 ml of 0.15M DL-alpha-aminoadipic acid (alpha-AAA) into the vitreous body of one eye. The other eye was similarly injected with saline and served as control. In the alpha-AAA--treated eye the b-wave was markedly reduced or absent and the a- and c-waves increased compared with the control eye. Sincs alpha-AAA damages the Müller cells, the results support the view that these cells are related to the generation of the b-wave and to the negative slow PIII-potential, which modifies the positive pigment epithelial component of the c-wave.

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
