KIOM-79 Prevents Lens Epithelial Cell Apoptosis and Lens Opacification in Zucker Diabetic Fatty Rats

Figure 4

The expression pattern of iNOS. (a) Immunohistochemical localization of iNOS protein. iNOS immunoreactivity (arrow) was observed in the cytoplasm of LECs of diabetic lenses. The immunoreactivity in KIOM-79-treated rats was decreased in its intensity. ZL: normal Zucker lean rat; ZDF: vehicle-treated ZDF rat; KIOM-79: ZDF rat treated with KIOM-79. X400 magnification. (b) Quantitative analysis of iNOS protein signal intensity. Values in the bar graphs represent means ± SE, . * versus normal ZL rats, # versus vehicle-treated ZDF rats.
