Insulin, IGF-1, IR and IGF-1R mRNA expression in the ocular fundal layers Without lenses 4 h Retina 6

1Same animals. 2The RPE tissues from both eyes were analyzed separately for all 24 h treatment groups. We then calculated the mean of both eyes before calculating the grand mean (See section “Tissue preparation”).
