Labelled leucine uptake in the visual cells and pigment epithelium of young albino rats in response to different light-dark cycles.
The leucine uptake in the visual cells and pigment epithelium were studied in the young albino rats after exposing to different light-dark cycles. Some form a cycle pattern was found in the visual cell layer and two peaks were recorded. The pattern on the uptake in the pigment epithelium was less distinct but at least a peak in the morning was recognized. The peaks could be shifted by manipulating the light-dark environment.
