Figure 6. Protein carbonyl content (PCC) in mice retinas following PQ injection.

Protein carbonylation was measured to assess oxidative retinal injury to proteins. It was assessed in retinas of rd10 and WT mice injected with 1 µl of 2 mM PQ or PBS. In both strains PQ injections caused an insignificant 1.35 fold increase of PCC. *p = 0.009 comparing control (PBS) rd10 with WT retinas (n = 5 in each group).
