[Hormonal homeostasis and intraocular pressure in chronic emotional stress caused by influences acting on the amygdala]. / Gormonal'nyi gomeostaz i vnutriglaznoe davlenie pri khronicheskom émotsional'nom stresse, vyzvannom vozdeìstviiami na mindalevidnyi kompleks.

Changes in intraocular pressure, eye hydrodynamics and the amount of hypophyseal, thyroid, adrenal and pancreatic hormones were studied during continuous stimulation of amygdaloid complex or after administration of angiotensin II into the structure in rabbits. The effects involved changes in hormonal homeostasis and elevation of intraocular pressure due to a hypersecretion of intraocular fluid. The administration of angiotensin II during the amygdala stimulation enhanced the changes.

Prolonged electrical stimulation of the lateral amygdaloid nucleus increased the intraocular pressure, the secretion of the intraocular fluid and the amount of proteins and glycosaminoglycans in it. Bilateral electrolysis of the lateral amygdaloid nucleus caused a resistant decrease of the intraocular pressure due to reduced secretion and to increase of the outflow coefficient of the intraocular fluid.
