  • Title: Isolated retinas synthesize visual pigments from tetinol congeners delivered by liposomes.
    Author: Uoshikami S, Nöll GN.
    Journal: Science; 1978 Jun 23; 200(4348):1393-5. PubMed ID: 307275.
    Abstract:
    Isolated vertebrate retinas bathed in circulating Ringer solution cannot regenerate all of their bleached visual pigments. When dioleoyl-lecithin vesicles containing certain retinol congeners are added to the Ringer solution, such retinas begin to regenerate pigment immediately. The visual pigment of a bleached perfused retina can now be restored fully, making the isolated retina an independent unit for study. Loposomes can protect oxygen-sensitive, lipid-soluble substances and deliver them to living cells.
