FIGURE 1.

Hydrogen rich saline (HRS) induced effects on the ERGs of MNU administered rats. (A) The representative ERG waveforms of the examined eyes. (B) The amplitudes of both the photopic and scotopic b-waves in the untreated group were substantially smaller than the normal controls (P < 0.01). The amplitudes of both the photopic and scotopic b-waves in the IV treated group and IP treated group were significantly larger than the untreated group (P < 0.01). The amplitudes of both photopic and scotopic b-waves in the IV treated group were significantly larger than the IP treated group (photopic :P < 0.01; scotopic: P < 0.05). (All the values were presented as mean ± SD; ^∗P < 0.05, ^#P < 0.01 for differences compared between the animal groups).
