Effects of MAT on axonal loss in optic nerve. Both sides of optic nerves and the retina were harvested from naive and MAT- or vehicle-treated rats. (A) Detection of NF by immunofluorescence staining in the optic nerve and the retina. ONL, outer nuclear layer; INL: inner nuclear layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer. Scale bars = 100 µm. Quantitative analyses of immunofluorescence in optic nerve (B) and the retina (C) were expressed by average optical density (AOD) of NFs. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 20 optic nerves and the retinas from 10 rats per group). Multiple comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, followed by Student–Newman–Keuls test. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, comparison with the naive group. ##P < 0.01, ###P < 0.001, comparisons between vehicle- and MAT-treated groups.
