Abstract
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectra of rabbit ocular tissue homogenates (corneal epithelium, conjunctiva and iris ciliary body) and aqueous humor have been recorded for the first time by incorporation of a spin-spin relaxation reagent and use of the CPMG pulse sequence. A number of endogenous species such as lactate, glucose, alanine and valine have been observed in these ocular homogenates and significant differences have been noted in the distribution of these small molecules in the ocular tissues studied. This technique has been used to study the hydrolysis of acetylcholine by ocular esterases in the iris ciliary body.
