HT normalizes the expression of angiogenic, inflammatory, and proteolytic molecules in OIR. OIR mice were treated with hyperoxia (75% oxygen; HT) or were maintained in room air (OIR) from P14 to P17. Mice maintained in room air (RA) from P1 to P17 are control. mRNA levels of specified molecules in retinas were quantified by q-PCR and normalized to RA control (n = 6–9 retinas from 6–9 mice). *P < 0.05 compared with RA. #P < 0.05 compared with OIR.
