Retinal Metabolism in Dark and Light

  • Chapter
Physiology of Photoreceptor Organs

Part of the book series: Handbook of Sensory Physiology ((1536,volume 7 / 2))

Abstract

One may expect to find in this concluding chapter on metabolism an account for the expenses incurred by the retina in the performance of the activities outlined in the preceding contributions to this volume. Information on its source and its fate — as a building block or fuel — should provide some insight in the inner workings, from which eventually a rationale may be derived for the beneficial intervention in the repair or even improvement of visual function, as perhaps in night vision. The uses of the substrate under specified load may serve to substantiate the powering of amplifier actions invoked in many guises, providing gain, feedback, preventing contamination of the visual signal to be processed, etc. The kinetics of metabolic reactions may help to determine which of a number of processes is the deciding one, e.g. during restoration of sensitivity after exposure to light. Or, the measured rate of metabolism could substitute for “neural work”, a quantity not otherwise available at present.
