Figure 1. SAL prevents ganglion cell loss due to STZ-induced injury. A: H&E staining showing that SAL protects ganglion cells in diabetic rats. The arrowheads represent retinal ganglion cells. B: Quantitative analysis of the number of ganglion cells. SAL-treated retinas showed a significantly higher number of ganglion cells than the DM group. (^#p<0.05). Values are presented as mean ± SD (n=3). Scale bar=100 μm. ***p<0.001, versus CON group. ^#p<0.05, versus DM group.
