Analysis of the retinal gene expression profile after hypoxic preconditioning identifies candidate genes for neuroprotection-4

Inal morphology was analyzed 10 days thereafter. Dark-adapted knockout mice served as controls (dark control). Hypoxic preconditioning almost completely protected the retina of p21mice leading to a retinal morphology indistinguishable from controls. Exposure of normoxic mice led to a complete degeneration of photoreceptors in the central retina. Shown are representative samples of control and light exposed mice. n = 2 (controls); n = 4 (light exposed mice). Abbreviations as in Fig. 1.
