The authors revealed by chromatographic analysis that in the investigated tissues of the bovine eye a 3% aqueous pilocarpine solution 2.5 hours after the last instillations alters specifically the levels of different free amino acids. In the capsule and anterior coat an increase was observed and in the nucleus and posterior coat a decline of the total amount of these components. In the control and pilocarpine-treated capsule and in the lenticular nucleus glutamic acid, is present in the highest concentration and in the anterior and posterior coat of the lens aspartic acid and lysine.
