Figure 1. PKC mRNA levels in the retinal
arteries and neuroretina. PKCα, PKCβ1, and PKCβ2
mRNA expression levels assessed by real-time PCR in (A) the
retinal arteries and (B) in the neuroretina in eyes subjected to
ischemia and 5 (n=6), 12 (n=14), or 20 (n=6) hours of reperfusion
versus sham-operated eyes. Values are presented as mean±SEM.
Statistical comparison was performed using Student’s paired ratio t-test
(ischemia–reperfusion versus sham-operated) with Bonferroni correction.
Exact p-values are given in the figure. Note that the levels for PKCα,
PKCβ1, and PKCβ2 show similar patterns of change in the
retinal arteries and the neuroretina.
