Figure 3. Morphometric analysis of peripheral and central retinas from wild-type mice and Tmprss6^mas/msk mice. The parameters measured included the thickness of various cell layers, the number of cell nuclei in various cell layers, and the thickness of the entire retina. Measurements were made in the central retina as well as in the peripheral retina. * p<0.05; ** p<0.01; *** p<0.001. RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; OS, outer segment of photoreceptors; IS, inner segment of photoreceptors; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer. Results are from the analysis of retinal sections from three wild-type mice and three Tmprss6^msk/msk mice.
