    Notes: Summary In a range from 6 to 30°C, the influence of temperature on the relation between the light intensity and the amplitude of the b-wave of the exposure potential has been investigated for the isolated frog retina. Between 10 and 25°C, the gross activation energy of the response to light leads to a temperature coefficient which shows that the formation of the b-wave is mainly checked by diffusion processes. While at 6°C the b-wave has vanished, a complete delayed off-response can still be registered.

    Notes: Summary The effect of the external K+-concentration in a range from 0 to 10 mMol/l on the exposure potential (ERG) and the Na+-, K+-distribution in the retinal tissue of Rana esculenta was investigated. After 45 min of perfusion with the test solution moist combustion of the tissue and analysis by flame photometry was carried out. At concentrations of less than 1 mMol/l an extensive loss of retinal potassium could be observed which corresponded to a slow and steady decrease of the exposure potential. Simultaneously the mean intracellular Na+-content increased. Above 2 mMol/l a rapid decline of the potentialΦ b to a constant level was recorded. At the same time there was a slight increase in retinal potassium and a decrease in sodium. The quick transition to steady values of the ERG at high external K+-concentrations is attributed to the limitation of the potassium uptake of retinal cells which brings about a constant distribution of electrolytes in a short time. The slow drop in potential at a low potassium content of the bathing solution is ascribed to the diffusion process of K+ through cellular membranes of the retina.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Zur Untersuchung der toxischen Wirkung von Cu (II)-lonen auf das zentralnervöse Gewebe wurde die isolierte Froschnetzhaut mit Badlösungen von unterschiedlicher CuCl2-Konzentration umströmt. Zur Charakterisierung der Netzhautfunktion diente die b-Wellenamplitude (ϕb) des Belichtungspotentials (ERG) als Meßgröße. Die Cu(II)-Lösungen bewirkten während 30minütiger Applikation eine dosisabhängige Potentialabnahme, die bei 6 μM/l reversibel, bei höheren Konzentrationen jedoch irreversibel war. Die Verlängerung der Applikationsdauer führte bereits bei 6 μM/l zu einem fortschreitenden, irreversiblen Potentialverlust. Ferner wurde der Einfluß der Komplexbildner d-Penicillamin, Dimercaprol, Natriumthiosulfat und EDTA auf die Cu(II)-Intoxikation der Netzhaut untersucht. In Übereinstimmung mit dem Intoxikationsmechanismus, der sich auf die Blockade von Enzymen mit SH-Gruppen zurückführen läßt, bewirkten die SH-Donatoren die beste Detoxikation, wobei entsprechend der klinischen Erfahrung d-Penicillamin einen besonders günstigen Einfluß ausübte. Die Cu-Analyse mit Hilfe der Atomabsorptionsspektrometrie ergab, daß sich der Cu-Gehalt der Netzhaut durch die Umströmung mit Tyrodelösung im Anschluß an die Cu(II)-Intoxikation erheblich reduzieren ließ, obgleich die entsprechende Abnahme des ERG nicht rückgängig zu machen war. Der logarithmische Anstieg der Cu(II)-Konzentration der Badlösung verhielt sich proportional sowohl zum Anstieg des Cu-Gehaltes im Gewebe als auch zur Abnahme des Belichtungspotentials. Eine deutliche Verringerung der Cu-Gewebskonzentration ließ sich nur durch d-Penicillamin herbeiführen.
    Notes: Abstract The isolated frog retina was perfused with bathing-solutions of different CuCl2-concentrations in order to investigate the toxic influence of Cu(II)-ions on the central nervous tissue. The amplitude of the b-wave (ϕb) of the exposure potential (ERG) was used to characterize retinal function. During 30 min of application the Cu(II)-solutions effected a decrease in potential dependent on dosage which was reversible at 6 μM/l but irreversible at higher concentrations. The prolongation of the Cu(II)-application led to a progressive and irreversible loss of potential already at 6 μM/l. Furthermore, the influence of the complexing agents d-penicillamine, dimercaprol, Na-thiosulfate and EDTA on retinal Cu(II)-intoxication was investigated. Corresponding to the mechanism of intoxication, which may by related to the blockade of enzymes containing SH-groups, the SH-donators brought about the best detoxication. The influence of d-penicillamine was especially favorable, which is in agreement with clinical experience. The Cu-analysis by means of the atomic absorption spectrometry showed that the Cu-content of the retina was much reduced if perfusion with Tyrode solution followed Cu(II)-intoxication, inspite of the persistance of the corresponding decrease of the ERG. A logarithmic increase in the Cu(II)-concentration of the bathing solution was proportional to an increase in the retinal Cu-content as well as to a decrease in the exposure potential. A considerable drop in the Cu-content of the tissue could only be effected by d-penicillamine.
