Rate of Fluid Flow (μL/min) in the Equatorial Capillary of Lenses Preincubated with 0.1 mM Ouabain for 45 Minutes prior to Mounting in Chamber


Lens No.

First Hour with 0.1 mM Ouabain Maintained in Bathing Solution
1 0.004
2 0.012
3 0.017
4 0.013
5 0.008
Mean: 0.011*
SEM: 0.002

The flow rates in the capillaries of the anterior and posterior compartments of the five lenses exposed to 0.1 mM ouabain were −0.007 ± 0.002 and −0.008 ± 0.003, respectively.

*

Significantly smaller than control value of 0.065, as two-tailed unpaired data, P < 0.001.
