[Effect of sympathetic denervation on the outflow of intraocular fluid and the concentration of pyrocatechins in the fluids and tissues of the eye].

After removal of the supper cervical sympathetic ganglion in cats followed by increase of the intraocular pressure from 20 to 32 mm Hg, the outflow of intraocular fluid was sharply enhanced due to lowering tone of tissues of the eye drainage apparatus in the desympathised eye. Noradrenaline was found to reduce sharply by the 4th-5th day in the desympathised eye's tissues due to degenerative processes whereas accumulation of noradrenaline by the 6th-8th day occurred on account of humoral factors.
