Figure 6. Scleral collagen type Iα1 mRNA levels in monocular deprivation and normal control eyes. There was significantly less collagen type Iα1 (COL1A1) mRNA in scleras from monocular deprivation–treated (MD-T) eyes compared to the MD-control (MD-C) eyes and the normal control (NC₅₁) eyes. MD-C: contralateral control eyes, NC₅₁: age-matched normal control eyes. *, p<0.05.
