abstract：:Inhibition of ciliary process adenylate cyclase was studied on rabbit membrane preparations. When considered individually, epinephrine, GTP and NaCl did not inhibit adenylate cyclase activity. On the other hand, when present together, epinephrine, GTP (10(-5) M) and NaCl (200 mM) acted synergistically to cause a 27% i...

abstract：PURPOSE:Phagocytosis of rod outer segments (ROS) is an important function of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Since the details of the process are not fully known, we studied effects of cytokines produced by RPE and photoreceptor cells on phagocytosis of ROS by rat RPE cells. METHODS:RPE cells were isolated and...
