Regulation of local oxygen tension and blood flow in the inner retina during hyperoxia

Abstract

A study has been undertaken to determine whether local changes in PO2 could be a factor in the regulation of retinal blood flow during 100% O2 breathing. For this purpose we have measured simultaneously in eyes of anesthetized and artificially ventilated miniature pigs the change in local preretinal PO2 and retinal blood flow using O2-sensitive microelectrodes and laser Doppler velocimetry. Although preretinal intervascular PO2 changed little, periarteriolar PO2 increased markedly during 100% O2 breathing. When measured less than 50 microns from the arteriolar wall, the time course of this increase preceded that of the decrease in retinal blood flow. The results indicate that O2 diffusing through the wall of the large retinal arterioles represents the most important component of periarteriolar PO2. This diffusion coupled with the decrease in retinal blood flow could play a major role in the regulation of inner retinal PO2. The data also suggest that diffusional shunting of O2 between retinal arterioles and veins could explain the unexpected increase in venous O2 saturation during 100% O2 breathing that has been previously reported by others. The finding that retinal periarteriolar PO2 is always higher than the PO2 in the outer ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
