Prejunctional modulation of norepinephrine release in the human iris-ciliary body.

abstract：:The characterization of beta-adrenergic receptors on cultured human trabecular cells and trabecular meshwork from human autopsy eyes was carried out by radioligand binding utilizing (125I)-iodopindolol. In cultured cells, the observed binding of (125I)-iodopindolol was of high affinity (Kd = 43 pM) and saturable. Scat...
