Abstract
The level of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) increases concomitant with exposure to light in the mammalian retina under in-vitro and in-vivo conditions as recently reported1,2. Membrane bound visual pigments or other cell compartments may be suggested to be involved in the phenomenon of photoreduction in the retina.
