The total nitrite concentration was estimated from retinas using the Griess reagent. There was a 4.25-fold increase in the total retinal nitrite levels (31.69 ± 3.27 μmol/L versus 134.92 ± 7.83 μmol/L; P < 0.0001, n = 10) in the diabetic animals versus the nondiabetic controls. The retinal nitrite levels in the diabetic animals treated with VEGF TrapA40 were reduced to those of the nondiabetic animals (50.15 ± 4.85 pg/mg retinal weight; P > 0.05 versus nondiabetic controls, n = 8).
