Figure 1. Systemic TUDCA administraton decreases photoreceptor cell loss in RD.

Figure 1

(A) DAPI (blue) and TUNEL (green) staining of attached or detached for 5 days retina sections. TUDCA treatment was started 24 hrs before RD induction and continued daily at a dose of 500 mg/kg/day. (B) Quantitative analysis of TUNEL positive cells 3 and 5 days after RD with or without daily TUDCA treatment (500 mg/kg/day, I.P.). (n = 6, p<0.05). (C) Quantitative data exhibiting the protective effect of TUDCA (500 mg/kg/day, I.P.) on ONL thickness preservation, 3 and 5 after RD. (n = 6, p<0.05). (D) Protective effects of TUDCA were seen even when TUDCA treatment was started 6 hours after RD induction. (n = 6, P<0.05).
