TABLE 2.

Retinal thickness measured in hematoxylin and eosin-stained retina sections from control, diabetic, and diabetic CaD-treated animals

	Retinal thickness (μm)	N
Control	135.7 ± 5.0	6
Diabetic	153.0 ± 4.0*	6
Diabetic + CaD	145.2 ± 5.6	6

Diabetic animals (1-month diabetes duration) were treated with CaD (100 mg/kg) in the last 10 days of diabetes. The eye sections, from the proximity of optical disc, were stained with hematoxylin/eosin. The retinal thickness was measured by image analysis of 5 fields per section, from six animals. The results represent the mean ± SEM.

*P < 0.05, significantly different from control; ANOVA (one-way) followed by Dunnett post hoc test.
