Proteins in Aqueous Humor

Recommended Posts

Will the increase in protein levels in the blood plasma be reflected in the increase in protein levels in the aqueous humor?

Is it possible to see a significant increase and/or decrease in liver function test molecules if a liver disorder or kidney disease occur, in aqueous solutions in the body produced by active secretion, diffusion, and ultrafiltration from the blood plasma?

Hello Martin - just a quick question. In my experience the Aqueous Humour is filling of the portion of the interior of the eyeball between the cornea and the lens (often mentioned as opposed to the vitreous humour which fills the main cavity) ; I don't think this is what you are referring to when you say "aqueous humour"

 

Could you confirm this

Aqueous humor is secreted into the posterior chamber by the ciliary body, specifically the non-pigmented epithelium of the ciliary body (pars plicata). It flows through the narrow cleft between the front of the lens and the back of the iris, to escape through the pupil into the anterior chamber, and then to drain out of the eye via the trabecular meshwork. From here, it drains into the Schlemm's canal.

Will the increase in protein levels in the blood plasma be reflected in the increase in protein levels in the aqueous humor? Or will these differences be neutralized by the active secretion mechanism?
