We have measured oxygen consumption in the various retinal layers and have found that the photoreceptor-retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) complex accounts for two thirds of total oxygen consumption. Hence, this complex substantially influences oxygen transport between the choroid and the inner retina. This finding has significant implications in explaining the beneficial effects of panretinal photocoagulation as well as retinal vasculature changes in outer retinal degenerations.
我们测量了视网膜各层的氧消耗，发现光感受器 - 视网膜色素上皮（RPE）复合体占总氧消耗的三分之二。因此，该复合体对脉络膜和视网膜内层之间的氧运输有重大影响。这一发现对于解释全视网膜光凝的有益效果以及外层视网膜变性中的视网膜血管变化具有重要意义。
