Abstract
The swelling pressure of 62 .+-. 2 mmHg and the fixed charge concentration of 15.7 .+-. 1.9 mmol/kg H2O were determined in bovine corneal stroma using a dialysis method. The hydration of the dialyzed stromal tissues was independent of ambient Na concentration. The same relationship was observed by incubation of whole corneas mounted in modified Ussing chambers.Keywords
