Figure 9.
Quantification of outer nuclear layer (ONL) thickness in Abca4−/−/Bco2−/− and Abca4−/− mice after three month of carotenoid supplementation at the age of 6 months. (a) OCT images of Abca4−/−/Bco2−/−, Anca4−/−, and WT mice of the same age. (b) ONL thickness measurements are plotted as a function of distance from the optic nerve head (ONH) in the inferior and superior hemispheres. Data presented as mean ± SEM (n=6 mice/group); L-lutein, Z-zeaxanthin and P-placebo chow. The differences were not significant.
