Figure 4. Adiponectin induces angiogenesis in the corneal micropocket assay.
Photomicrographs of adult mouse eyes 10 days after implantation of Hydron pellets containing PBS (n=6), 180 ng VEGF (n=5), or 500 ng high-molecular-weight adiponectin (n=4). Adiponectin significantly induces corneal angiogenesis (one-way ANOVA).
