Table 1. Diameters of retinal arteries in eNOS+/+ and eNOS-/- retinas

Arterial size in the eNOS-/- and eNOS+/+ mice was determined by measuring the diameter of the central retinal artery branches immediately before and after the first branch. Asterisk indicates p<0.05 for comparison to P7; double asterisk indicates p<0.05 for comparison to age-matched control; ANOVA, n=5 mice per group.
