Figure 1. Effect of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME on cell coverage in lens epithelial explants. Explants, initially matched for cell coverage, were cultured in the control medium (CON) or in the control medium supplemented with L-NAME or with the negative control D-NAME at a final concentration of 5 mM. Cell coverage was assessed daily by phase contrast microscopy. Each value represents the mean±SEM of data from 9 to 12 explants. Explants cultured with L-NAME had significantly lower cell coverage than the corresponding control and D-NAME-treated explants on days 4 and 5 (p<0.001, Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s correction for multiple comparisons). NAME stands for Nω-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester.
