Diabetic Retinal and Choroidal Edema in SDT Rats

Table 2

The mean retinal and choroidal thicknesses in the SDT rats. Each value is based on the distance from the optic nerve disc (500, 1,000, and 1,500 µm). The average of the three values is calculated.

	500 µm	1,000 µm	1,500 µm	Average
Total retinal thickness (µm)	159.7 ± 29.4	146.6 ± 29.2	152.7 ± 33.6	153.0 ± 27.6
Thickness between ILM and INL (µm)	78.8 ± 34.0	63.8 ± 17.3	68.8 ± 20.2	70.5 ± 18.8
INL thickness (µm)	23.2 ± 4.1	25.2 ± 6.8	25.6 ± 7.5	24.7 ± 5.1
ONL thickness (µm)	31.0 ± 6.9	33.2 ± 5.7	30.4 ± 7.3	31.5 ± 4.8
PL thickness (µm)	21.7 ± 5.3	21.8 ± 5.8	22.5 ± 8.8	22.0 ± 5.4
Choroidal thickness (µm)	12.8 ± 3.6	18.5 ± 4.1	21.8 ± 10.0	17.7 ± 5.4

Most layers are significantly thicker than in the normal SD rats, but there is no significant difference in the INL and choroidal thicknesses at 500 µm.
