Effect of dietary supplementation on RGC number in peripheral and midperipheral retina.

	RGC Number (% of Control)
	Peripheral	Midperipheral
Control	100 ± 9	100 ± 7
MCE + vehicle	53 ± 7 *	58 ± 6 *
MCE + diet	77 ± 8 *,§	84 ± 11 *,§

Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 5 for each group). * p < 0.001 versus control; ^§ p < 0.001 versus MCE mice fed with vehicle (one-way ANOVA followed by the Newman–Keuls multiple comparison post-hoc test). The RGC number in the peripheral and midperipheral retina was 9170 ± 825 and 12240 ± 857, respectively, in agreement with previous findings [33].
