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

Figure 5

Distribution of NF- B in LECs detected by southwestern histochemistry. (a) Representative photomicrograph of lens from a normal Zucker lean rat (ZL), vehicle-treated ZDF rat (ZDF), and ZDF rat treated with KIOM-79 (KIOM-79). Positive signals (arrow) for activated NF- B were mainly detected in nuclei of LECs of the vehicle-treated ZDF rat. X400 magnification. (b) Quantitative analysis of positive cells in LECs. Values in the bar graphs represent means ± SE, . * versus normal ZL rats, # versus vehicle-treated ZDF rats.
