OBSERVATIONS ON THE RE-FORMATION OF CEREBROSPINAL FLUID AND AQUEOUS HUMOR

Abstract

Various organic dyes were given intravenously to 30 dogs in doses of 20 mgm. per kgm. body weight; 15 min. later the major portions of both the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the humor were withdrawn and examined; 1 hr. later the reformed CSF and humor were again tested for the presence of the dye administered. The results suggest that the mechanism governing the reformation of the cerebrospinal fluid differs from that of the aqueous humor.
