Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of taurine and apical potassium concentration modelling in vivo light evoked changes on the transepithelial potential (TEP) and the transepithelial resistance (TER) of isolated bovine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Isolated specimens of bovine non-tapetal RPE-Bruch's-choroid (RPE-BC) were mounted in modified Ussing chambers. The apical and the ...
