Abstract
The dynamics of the content albumin and carotenoids in human fetal vitreous body during weeks 16-31 of gestation was studied. The maximum values of total albumin (1.42 mg) and carotenoids (276 ng) during the studied period were recorded on weeks 20-22. Albumin concentration peaked during week 17 (2.11x10(-4) mol/liter) and carotenoids during weeks 16-17 (about 0.045x10(-4) mol/liter) of prenatal development. By week 31, the concentrations and total content of albumin and carotenoids in the vitreous body decreased. The physiological role of the studied components of the vitreous body for prenatal development of human eye is discussed.
