Apoptosis in Cultures of Bovine Retinal Pericytes Exposed to High Glucose
Annexin V-positive cells (% of total) | |||
---|---|---|---|
Normal glucose (5 mmol/L) | High glucose (30 mmol/L) | Mannitol (25 mmol/L) | |
1 week | 1.3 ± 0.4 | ||
3 weeks | 2.0 ± 0.6 | 1.0 ± 0.5 | |
5 weeks | 1.2 ± 0.7 | 3.3 ± 1.1 |
Values are means ± SD of the results obtained in three independent experiments, each performed in a different pericyte isolate. *P = 0.01 versus normal glucose.
