Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The influence of adrenergic and cholinergic drugs on intraocular pressure after chemical sympathectomy produced by 6-hydroxydopamine has been examined in rabbits. For comparison, ocular tension in response to these same drugs has been measured after chronic treatment of rabbits with the norepinephrine synthesis inhibitor alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine. The results indicated that the effects of these 2 treatments were both qualitatively and quantitatively similar. In both cases, supersensitivity to the pressure-lowering effects of alpha and beta adrenergic amines developed. After administration of cholinergic drugs, however, ocular tension became elevated to values ranging from 3 to 7 mm Hg above the baseline levels.
