Oral administration of lactoferrin suppressed laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) volume in mice. (A) Representative three-dimensional images of the CNV stained with isolectin B4 (IB4). (B) Quantification of the CNV volume. Note that the administration of lactoferrin significantly reduced the CNV volume compared with the vehicle group. Vehicle: 272.731 ± 239.573 μm3, lactoferrin: 175.2 ± 196.13 μm3, six mice for each, *p < 0.05. (C) The average of the body weight before and after administration. Note that there was no significant change between the two groups. n = 6.
