[Studies on oxygen content in aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of the rabbit's eye--I. Oxygen content in aqueous humor of anterior chamber and arterial blood under physiologic conditions].

The measurements of the partial pressure of oxygen pO2 in the aqueous humor of anterior chamber in both eyes and arterial blood, using the electrochemical--polarographic method, under physiological conditions, have been carried out in 20 rabbits. The mean value of pO2 oxygen partial pressure in aqueous humor was 8.48 kPa, whereas in arterial blood was higher--9.69 kPa. The processes of infiltration (diffusion) from blood-vascular system and oxygen distribution in the aqueous humor of anterior chamber of the eye have been discussed.
