Abstract
The vitreous humor and sera from 51 autopsy cases were assayed for progesterone, estradiol, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, TSH, FSH, LH and prolactin. The results indicate that the blood retinal barrier has unique properties of its own. All hormones were measurable in the sera. Progesterone, estradiol, T3 and T4 were not detected despite their lipid solubility and their small molecular size while the larger glycoprotein hormones were easily measureable.
