Effects of BCX on retinal protein expression of ATF4 (a), ATF6 (b), Grp78 (c), and Grp94 (d) levels in rats with RD. The intensity of the western blot bands (e) was quantified by densitometric analysis, and β-actin was included to ensure equal protein loading. Data are expressed as a ratio of the control value (set to 100%). The bar represents the standard error of the mean. Blots were repeated at least three times (n = 3) and a representative blot is shown. Asterisks indicate statistical differences among groups (p < .05; ∗∗p < .01; ∗∗∗p < .001; ∗∗∗∗p < .0001). ATF4: activating transcription factor 4; ATF6: activating transcription factor 4; BCX: β-cryptoxanthin; Grp78: glucose-regulated protein 78; Grp94: glucose-regulated protein 94; RD: retinal degeneration.
