Figure 5. Effect of Argon inhalation on retinal expression of Bcl-2 mRNA.

Figure 5

Fold induction of Bcl-2 mRNA expression in ischemic retinal tissue compared to GAPDH in relation to the corresponding non-ischemic retinae analyzed by RT-PCR after (A) 75 Vol% Argon inhalation (***  = p<0.001 IRI vs. IRI+Argon at all time points), (B) 50 Vol% Argon inhalation (*** = p<0.001 IRI vs. IRI+Argon immediate treatment, **  = p<0.01 IRI vs. IRI+Argon at 1.5 h and 3 h delayed treatment) and (C) 25 Vol% Argon inhalation (***  = p<0.001 IRI vs. IRI+Argon immediately and at 1.5 h delayed treatment). All n = 8; data are mean±SD.
