Influence of UVA Light Stress on Photoreceptor Cell Metabolism: Decreased Rates of Rhodopsin Regeneration and Opsin Synthesis

There is considerable evidence indicating that rhodopsin is the chromophore mediating light damage to the rat retina caused by exposure to mid-visible wavelengths. Retinal damage is, however, more effectively produced by short-wavelength light, and little is known about the initiating events for thi...
