Abstract:
:To assess whether prostaglandins contribute to the control of basal retinal and choroidal hemodynamics, retinal (RBF) and choroidal blood flow (ChBF) were measured by a microsphere technique in 1- to 4-day-old pigs before and after (at 20 and 60 min) administration of indomethacin (0.3 mg/kg, n = 6 or 10 mg/kg, n = 5), ibuprofen (40 mg/kg, n = 7), naproxen (20 mg/kg, n = 5) or vehicle (n = 8). In 40 other animals, PGF2 alpha, PGE2, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha were measured in the retina and choroid at times corresponding to blood flow measurements. Mean arterial blood pressure and blood gases and pH were not altered by any of the agents. Except for the lower dose of indomethacin (0.3 mg/kg), which did not change retinal and choroidal prostaglandin concentrations, the prostaglandin levels were decreased similarly (P < 0.01) by the three drugs. However, RBF and ChBF were not changed by ibuprofen and naproxen, but decreased to the same extent after low and high doses of indomethacin. The data suggest that the effects of indomethacin on RBF and ChBF cannot be simply attributed to prostaglandin synthesis inhibition, and that prostaglandins may not play a significant role in controlling basal blood flow to the retina and choroid.
