Strain Differences in Light-Induced Retinopathy
The purpose of this study was to better understand the role of ocular pigmentation and genetics in light-induced retinal damage. Adult pigmented [Long Evans (LE) and Brown Norway (BN)] and albino [Sprague Dawley (SD) and Lewis (LW)] rats were exposed to a bright cyclic light for 6 consecutive days and where compared with juvenile animals exposed to the same bright light environment from postnat...
متن کاملStrain-dependent differences in oxygen-induced retinopathy in the inbred rat.
PURPOSE To examine the susceptibilities of different rat strains to oxygen-induced retinopathy, a model of human retinopathy of prematurity. METHODS Litters of newborn rats of five inbred strains (Fischer 344 [F344], Dark Agouti [DA], Sprague-Dawley [SD], Wistar-Furth [WF], Lewis [LEW]) and one outbred strain (Hooded Wistar [HW]) were maintained in room air or were exposed to alternating 24-h...
متن کاملFunctional and structural changes resulting from strain differences in the rat model of oxygen-induced retinopathy.
PURPOSE Results of studies that compared the racial incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) suggested that ocular pigmentation might offer protection against the development of severe ROP. The structural and functional consequences of postnatal hyperoxia (oxygen-induced retinopathy; OIR) were compared in albino Sprague-Dawley (SD) and pigmented Long-Evans (LE) rats to verify this finding....
متن کاملPREVENTIVE EFFECTS OF VITAMIN A AND ASPIRIN ON UV LIGHT-INDUCED RETINOPATHY IN AN ANIMA L MODEL
In order to identify the effects of vitamin A and aspirin on reducing UV lightinduced retinopathy, ERG waves were compared before and after UV light exposure in rabbits. 30 rabbits were divided into 3 groups: the first group received vitamin A, 50,000 units I.M., single dose, the second group received aspirin, 50 mg/ kg/day PO and the third group did not receive any medication. All three gr...
متن کاملEP300 Protects from Light-Induced Retinopathy in Zebrafish
Exposure of rhodopsin to bright white light can induce photoreceptor cell damage and degeneration. However, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying light-induced retinopathy remains elusive. In this study, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis of three rodent models of light-induced retinopathy, and we identified 37 genes that are dysregulated in all three models. G...
