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.
eNOS+/+ retina eNOS-/- retina ------------------- ---------------------- P7: before branching 16.88 ± 0.71 μm 16.07 ± 1.39 μm after branching 15.03 ± 0.78 μm 16.31 ± 2.01 μm P30: before branching 29.56 ± 0.54 μm (*) 21.19 ± 0.40 μm (*,**) after branching 26.45 ± 1.26 μm (*) 20.75 ± 0.76 μm (*,**) |
