1. From: Experimental Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy in Diabetic Mice Exhibited Severe Retinal Swelling Associated With VEGF Elevation
Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci ;58(4): doi: /iovs
Figure Legend:
One day after AION, retinal and serum VEGF levels were significantly increased in DM-AION eyes, and treatment with insulin significantly reduced VEGF levels and retinal swelling on OCT. (A) Day 1 retinal VEGF levels in Ctrl and AION eyes in non-DM mice, DM mice without insulin treatment, and DM mice with insulin treatment. *P < (B) Day 1 serum VEGF levels in non-DM mice with AION, DM mice with AION untreated with insulin, and DM mice with AION treated with insulin. *P < (C) Bar graph showing relative increase in GCC (open bars) and total retinal thickness measurements (filled bars) one day after AION compared with baseline in DM-AION eyes without insulin treatment and in DM-AION eyes with insulin treatment. *P < (D) Correlation between retinal VEGF levels and GCC (top) and total retinal thickness measurements (bottom) 1 day after AION (GCC: r = 0.818, P < 0.001, n = 25; total retinal thickness: r = 0.608, P = 0.001, n = 25).
