Summary

RABBIT CORNEAS WERE EXPOSED TO EQUIMOLAR MIXTURES OF THE CRYOPROTECTANTS PROPANE-1,2-DIOL AND GLYCEROL IN A HEPES-BUFFERED RINGER'S SOLUTION CONTAINING GLUTATHIONE, ADENOSINE, 5 MMOL/LITER SODIUM BICARBONATE, AND 6 % W/V BOVINE SERUM ALBUMIN. IT WAS FOUND THAT ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION MAY BE IMPROVED BY FURTHER MODIFICATION OF ADDITION AND DILUTION PROTOCOLS OR BY EXPOSURE TO THE CRYOPROTECTANTS AT LOWER TEMPERATURES.
