title: The role of lactic acid in retinal neovascularization.
abstract: In order to gain information on the possible role of lactate in the development of neovascularization following retinal malperfusion, the lactate content in vitreous-retina-choroid specimens of 02-treated kittens and streptozotocin-diabetic rats was determined. In both experiments there was no significant difference of lactate content between the diseased eyes and healthy controls.
