Table 2. Effect of concave lens on RALDH2 and RA in the retina and choroids.
Groups | n | RALDH2 (Ret) | RA (Ret, ng) | RA (RPE/Cho, ng) |
Normal control | 12 | 0.08±0.02 | 1.27±0.22 | 0.25±0.08 |
Lens-inducation | 12 | 0.43±0.08a | 2.60±0.30a | 0.63±0.11a |
Recovery | 12 | 0.26±0.05a,c | 1.74±0.23a,c | 0.36±0.09a,c |
Ret: retina, Cho: choroid. aP<0.05 vs the normal control; cP<0.05 vs the lens-induced group.
