The recent finding that iodide is transported out of the rabbit eye^1,2 raised the question as to the handling of related halides. The present investigation was an attempt to learn whether bromide is accumulated by ciliary body preparations in vitro and whether it is transported out of the living rabbit eye. The turnover of this anion in ocular fluids after its systemic administration was also measured.

Methods

For in vitro studies ciliary body-iris preparations were incubated in Tyrode's solution containing 0.1µc. Br⁸²/ml. Incubations were carried out with gentle shaking in a water bath at 25 and 37 C for periods of 15 to 60 min. At the end of the incubation, the ciliary body-iris preparations were blotted, weighed, and counted in a well-scintillation counter. They were dried and reweighed. Counts per water content of the cilitary body (T) were compared with the incubation fluid (M) and expressed . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
