Ethyl Pyruvate Prevents Methyglyoxal-Induced Retinal Vascular Injury in Rats
Figure 4
MGO-induced occludin loss. Representative retinal vessels from a saline-injected eye (a), a MGO-injected eye (b), and an EP-treated eye (c) were stained with antioccludin antibody. Occludin expression was evident at the interfaces between adjacent endothelial cells in the control eyes, while it was mostly eliminated from the microvessels in the MGO-injected eyes (arrow).
