Abstract
Loading of a small amount of an autonomic nerve toxin (adrenalin, benzylimidazoline, acetylcholine, atropin etc) showed no appreciable influence on the vitamin C content of the aqueous humor of the rabbit.
Stimulation of the cervical sympathetic nerve on one side resulted in the slight lowering of the Vitamin C content of the aqueous humor in contrast to that of the control side.
While, the blocking of the cervical sympathetic nerve on one side produced no appreciable difference in the Vitamin C content of the aqueous humor in contrast to the control side.
