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

Figure 1

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