Oat Attenuation of Hyperglycemia-Induced Retinal Oxidative Stress and NF-𝜅B Activation in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rats

Figure 2

Retinal TNF𝛼  levels assessed at 12 weeks of oat treatment. TNF𝛼  was markedly elevated in the diabetic untreated group than in the normal control group. Tretment of rats with oat resulted in a dose-dependent reduction of the elevated TNF𝛼  levels. Data are mean ± SE (𝑛=10 retinas/group), ^∗𝑃<0.01 versus normal control, and ^∗∗𝑃<0.03 versus diabetic untreated group.
