Oral administration of carcinine protects photoreceptor cells from light-induced damage in mouse retina. (A) Representative pictures of retinal sections were taken at 0.5 mm from the ONH to the inferior retina at original magnification ×20. (B) The numbers of nuclei in the ONL of water- and carcinine-gavaged mice were counted on histologic eye sections from five different mice at 0.5 mm from ONH in the inferior and superior retina. Averages and SEM were plotted for each group. One-way ANOVA was used to determine the differences between groups, and Bonferroni's post hoc test was performed to test for significance. ***P < 0.005.
