Table 1. Incidence and severity of neovascularization
The incidence of neovascularization was similar between 10 day AIR rats and 10 day MMI-AIR rats, despite the MMI-rats having a smaller ratio of vascularized to total retinal area. Any small discrepancies, between number of rats surviving and the denominator for incidence, were due to 3 retinas being ungradable. AIR represents acidosis-induced retinopathy, MMI represents Methimazole. The asterisks denote non-acidotic control values taken from a previously published study [6] that ran simultaneously with the current study.
