Figure 4. Retinal expression of p27Kip1
in retina evaluated through immunohystochemistry assay. In (A),
we can see a representative immunohistochemical staining for p27Kip1
in retina of control and diabetic Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats and
spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). The brownish color represents
staining for p27Kip1, and the blue color represents the
staining of retinal tissue with hematoxylin. Original magnification
1000x, the bar in the figure represents a scale of 50µm. The graphs
represents the score of positivity of p27Kip1 in retinal
slides expressed by mean±SD in ganglion cell (B) and inner
nuclear (C) layers. Asterisk (*) is p=0.05 versus CT-WKY and
CT-SHR, and dagger (†) is p=0.02 versus CT-SHR.
