TH does not influence the abundance of progenitors in the CMZ, but stimulates the maturation of Müller glia in far peripheral regions of the retina. Treated eyes received injections of 2 μg of TH at P0, P1, P2 and P4, whereas control eyes received injections of vehicle. Vertical sections of the far peripheral retina were labeled with antibodies to Sox9 and glutamine synthetase (GS; a and b), PCNA (c and d), and Sox9 and transitin (e and f). Retinas were obtained from eyes treated with vehicle (a, c and e) or 4 consecutive daily injections of TH (b, d and f). The calibration bar (50 μm) in a applies to a alone, and the bar in e applies to c–e. Abbreviations: ONL – outer nuclear layer, INL – inner nuclear layer, IPL – inner plexiform layer, GCL – ganglion cell layer.
