Protective Effect of Total Panax Notoginseng Saponins on Retinal Ganglion Cells of an Optic Nerve Crush Injury Rat Model

Figure 3

TPNS promotes RGC survival after optic nerve injury. Retinal images were taken using a fluorescent microscope. (a) Representative pictures of Fluoro-Gold retrograde labeling of RGCs in retinal flatmounts from the control, ONC, , and groups, as marked. Scale . (b) Average RGC survival summed across 6 of each sampling region averaged by the unit area for each experimental group (; ; values are indicated at the top of bars, versus the control group, and group versus the ONC group).
