TOXICITY OF MONOMETHYLHYDRAZINE ON THE FROG CORNEA.

Abstract

The effect of monomethylhydrazine (MMH) on the in vitro frog cornea was studied. Parameters examined were corneal transparency, membrane potential difference (P.D.), and chloride transport as evidenced by the short-circuit current. MMH caused a diminution in the transparency, a decrease in the short-circuit current, and a fall in the tissue P.D. These effects were slightly ameliorated by subsequent treatment of the tissue with arginine. (Author)
