The effect of flash illumination on the endogenous cyclic GMP content of isolated frog retinae

C Goridis, PF Urban, P Mandel - Experimental Eye Research, 1977 - Elsevier
In isolated, intact frog retinae high concentrations of cyclic 3′, 5′-guanosine

Light-initiated changes of cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels in the frog retina measured with quick-freezing techniques.

P Kilbride, TG Ebrey - The Journal of general physiology, 1979 - rupress.org
Although there is good agreement that light reduces the amount of cyclic GMP (cGMP) in the
retina, the exact time-course of this decrease is not well established. Bullfrog retinal sections …
