Figure 4.

The effect of combined hypoglycaemia and ischaemia/reperfusion injury on the Thy-1 mRNA level. (A) Representative PCR gels of Thy-1, and (B) cyclophilin. (The top gel in each case is from hypoglycaemic rats and the bottom gel is from normoglycaemic rats; odd numbered lanes are from retinas subjected to ischaemia and even numbered lanes are from the fellow untouched retinas.) (C) Graphic representation of optical densitometric recordings from the gels. The Thy-1 ratio between the paired eyes is presented as a percentage of the house keeping gene product (cyclophilin) ratio. **p<0.01.
