Abstract INTRODUCTION To investigate whether in the ciliary epithelium of isolated porcine ciliary body cyclic 3′,5′ adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) activates transmembrane anionic currents. METHODS Changes in membrane potential induced either by the adenylcyclase activator forskolin (10 μM; n=4) or the stable membrane permeable cAMP analog 8-bromo-adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphothioate (8-br-cAMP; 30 μM; n=4) were measured with intracellular microelectrodes. The effect of the drugs were assessed in the absence or in the presence of the non-selective anionic channel/transporter inhibitor diisothiocyanatostilbe…
