Astrocyte density in SD and P23H rat retinas. Quantification of the cell density of astrocytes in whole-mounted retinas from SD (green) and P23H rats (red). Astrocytes were quantified on representative sampling of the peripheral, medial, and central zones of the upper, lower, temporal, and nasal quadrants of each retina at P18 (A,B), P120 (C,D), P360 (E,F), and P480 (G,H). Mean density values for all representative samplings are represented in (I). Data are reported as mean ± SEM. ^*P < 0.05; ^**P < 0.01.
