Figure 8From: Retinal upregulation of inflammatory and proangiogenic markers in a model of neonatal diabetic rats fed on a high-fat-diet Immunohistochemical analysis of VEGF expression in the different retinal layers. A higher expression was found in diabetic rats on a HFD compared to controls. VEGF expression in the different layers: the fiber layer (FL), outer plexiform layer (OPL) and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Bar 50 μm. Western blot confirms the higher expression of VEGF in the HFD group. (***p < 0.0001).Back to article page
