| Abstract | 1. Low levels of insuling stimulate transendothelial fluid transport from preswollen stroma to aqueous in rabbit corneal preparations. The rate of stromal thinning at the end of the first hour averages 30% faster with insulin, 3.5 x 10(-22) M (4.8 micromicron/ml.), than that of the paired control. This concentration is about the physiological level in rabbit aqueous. 2. The stimulation with insulin is transient. Rates of thinning average higher but not significantly different from control rates by the second hour. 3. High levels of insulin between 3.5 x 10(-9) M (480 micromicron/ml.) and 2.0 x 10(-6) M (2.75 X 10(5) micromicron/ml.) inhibit fluid transport. The inhibition at the low end of this range of concentrations becomes more pronounced with longer perfusion times but appears not to exceed ca. 50% of the control rate. 4. Ouabain also induces a biphasic effect on fluid transport which is characteristically different from that with insulin. The maximal stimulation observed at all times occurred with a fixed concentration of 10(-10) M. The stimulation is not transient but increases throughout the duration of the perfusion; the average rate is elevated 50% above the control rate by the third hour. 5. The transition from a stimulatory to an inhibitory effect occurs consistently at ca. 10(-8) M with ouabain, while a similar transition with insulin occurs at ca. 10(-9) M and appears to shift towards slightly higher concentrations during a 3 hr perfusion period. 6. Inhibition of fluid transport with ouabain, 3 x 10(-7) M, is increased from ca. 50% after 1 hr to more than 70% at the end of the third hour of perfusion. 7. The combined presence of stimulatory concentrations of ouabain and insulin affects tromal thinning in a manner resembling the effect of ouabain alone more than that of insulin; additive effects could not be discriminated. Progressively raising the concentration of insulin to a level (10(-8) M) that alone inhibits stromal thinning, ultimately abolishes the stimulatory effect of ouabain. Based on other evidence and current models of drug/hormone-membrane interaction, these results can be interpreted to indicate a concentration-dependent interaction between receptor complexes of ouabain and insulin with (Na+ + K+)-ATPase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
