Figure 6. Cell counts in the GCL.

Figure 6

Representative transverse sections through rat retina at 24 h, Hoechst staining. Retinal thickness is markedly reduced, compared to the control (A), after injury (B), mainly due to decrease in IPL thickness and number of GCL-neurons; these effects are partially prevented by 3-MA treatment (C). No statistical significant alterations are apparent in the other layers. (D) Quantification of GCL-neurons numbers in each group: in the I/R retina, the number of the GCL-neurons significantly decrease compared to controls (** P<0.01); 3-MA partially prevent neuron death (* P<0.05). Scale bar: 50 µm.
