Morphology of Inner Retina in Rhesus Monkeys of Various Ages: A Comparative Study

Figure 2

(a) Photograph of rhesus monkey retina stained with H&E at the infant (a), adolescent (b), adult (c), and senescent (d) stage, respectively; bar = 50 μm. (b) Graph comparing the mean thickness (mean ± SDs) of the whole retina in each group. (c) Average NFL thickness of rhesus monkeys at different ages. (d) The thickness of IPL in rhesus monkeys at different ages. (e) Statistical analysis of NFL thickness in rhesus monkeys of various ages. NFL, nerve fiber layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; IS, inner segment; OS, outer segment; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium. Results were presented as mean ± SDs (n = 5). ^∗Significant difference between groups, .
