Reaction Steps

Finally, we investigated arachidonic acid-induced lipid peroxidation of the retinal suspension and any protection provided by the presence of anisodamine. Sodium arachidonate was freshly prepared with DPBS by ultrasonification. The experimental system consisted of 0.24 ml of the retinal suspension and, 0.03 ml anisodamine or DPBS for the control. To each tube, excluding the control, 0.03 ml of sodium arachidonate was added. The final concentration of sodium arachidonate was 0.25 mg/ml. The final concentration of anisodamine was 0.01 mg/ml. The malondialdehyde concentration was measured after incubation of the tubes at 37° C. for 30 minutes using the technique discussed previously.
