Abstract:
The lipid composition of human aqueous humor was determined in ten samples from patients undergoing cataract surgery. The mean concentration was 16.4 mg/dl for total lipids, 2.5 for phospholipids, 1.1 for free fatty acids, 1.7 for unesterified cholesterol 2.0 for triglycerides, and 9.0 mg/dl for cholesterol esters, respectively. The presence of lipids in aqueous humor suggests that lipids are transported through the human aqueous humor.
