Study on the Protective Effect of a New Manganese Superoxide Dismutase on the Microvilli of Rabbit Eyes Exposed to UV Radiation

Figure 4

Photography obtained by electron microscopy (magnification ×7500) of microvilli of conjunctiva rabbit eye before (a, b) and after (c, d) UV irradiation. Conjunctival epithelium treated with gel formulation without rMnSOD (a, c) and (b, d) treated with gel formulation containing rMnSOD 2 μg/mL. (a) Evident widespread microvilli. (b) Widespread microvilli on whole surface. (c) Loss of all microvilli of conjunctival surface. (d) Slight decrease of microvilli on conjunctival surface.
