Abstract:
The relation between the cAMP content of the aqueous humor and the intraocular pressure after to- pical epinephrin was studied by radioimmunoassay. Two hours after instillation of epinephrin,the aque- ous cAMP rose from 13.54?5.81 pmol/ml to 39.05 ?4.37 pmol/ml,while the IOP and the rate of the aqueous flow decreased by 0.43kpa and 0.76?l/min, and the facility of outflow increased by 0.23?l/min/ kpa.These results revealed that the IOP-lowering effect of epinephrin was mediated by cAMP.
