The protection of MK801 on retinal neuron cells in NMDA-treated rats. (a) Representative images (H&E staining, expression of β-catenin, COX-2, and VEGF) of the rats. (b) Neuron numbers of RGCs with respect to control (untreated), in NMDA-injected retinas of animals treated with MK801. (c) β-Catenin expression of retinas with respect to control in NMDA-injected retinas of animals treated with MK801. (d) COX-2 expression of retinas with respect to control in NMDA-injected retinas of animals treated with MK801. (e) VEGF expression of retinas with respect to control in NMDA-injected retinas of animals treated with MK801.
