Isolated retinas synthesize visual pigments from tetinol congeners delivered by liposomes.

S Uoshikami, G N Nöll.   

Abstract

Isolated vertebrate retinas bathed in circulating Ringer solution cannot regenerate all of their bleached visual pigments. When dioleoyl-lecithin vesicles containing certain retinol congeners are added to the Ringer solution, such retinas begin to regenerate pigment immediately. The visual pigment of a bleached perfused retina can now be restored fully, making the isolated retina an independent unit for study. Loposomes can protect oxygen-sensitive, lipid-soluble substances and deliver them to living cells.
