Investigation of PACAP Fragments and Related Peptides in Chronic Retinal Hypoperfusion
Figure 2
Morphometric analysis of retinal layers (a) and number of cells/100 µm GCL length and number of cells/500 µm2 INL (b) in SHAM operated animals, with BCCAO and with BCCAO + different PACAP fragments. We did not detect retinoprotective effects after the injection of the PACAP fragments (PACAP 4-22, 6-15, 11-15, 20-31, 6-10, and 4-13). ONL: outer nuclear layer; OPL: outer plexiform layer; INL: inner nuclear layer; IPL: inner plexiform layer; GCL: ganglion cell layer. * compared to SHAM retinas; # compared to BCCAO retinas.
