Figure 9. Expression of selected genes in rat retina as measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT–PCR). Retinas were harvested from rats maintained under cyclic dim or bright light exposure for eight weeks. Expression values were normalized with the housekeeping gene, Rpl19. Expression values (±SD) are presented as fold change over the CONT+DL value, which was set to 1.0 (n=4 samples). CONT+DL: control diet under cyclic dim light; caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE)+DL: CAPE diet under cyclic dim light; CONT+BL: control diet under cyclic bright light; CAPE+BL: CAPE diet under cyclic bright light. (*: p<0.05, with the Student t test).
