NMR Spectroscopy of Human Eye Tissues: A New Insight into Ocular Biochemistry

Figure 3

The contents of assigned biochemical compounds in various eye tissues. (a) amino acids; (b) nonamino acid compounds. Data are means ± SEM of HR MAS ¹H NMR peak integrals divided by tissue wet weight; versus the respective cornea group value; versus the respective retina group value; X—no detectable metabolite peak in the respective NMR spectra. For metabolite labels see legend for Figure 1.
