Figure 1. | Hyaloid regression is regulated by light.
a, Hyaloid vessel preparations at the indicated postnatal (P) days from pups reared under normal light conditions (LD) or under constant darkness (DD) from E16–17. Original magnification, ×50. b, As in a but a quantification of vessel number from P1 to P8. P values obtained by analysis of variance (ANOVA). c, P5 apoptotic index in hyaloid vascular cells (isolated apoptosis) or vessels undergoing a segmental pattern of apoptosis. P values obtained by Student's t-test. Sample size (n) as labelled. NS, not significant. Error bars are s.e.m.
