Stimulation of AMPK Prevents Diabetes-Induced Photoreceptor Cell Degeneration

Figure 1

Diabetes induced photoreceptor cell degeneration in vivo. (a, b) Retinal function in diabetic mice was measured by ERG. (c) Retinal morphology in diabetic mice was observed by HE staining. The thicknesses of the total retina (d), ONL (e), INL (f), and RGC (g) were measured in diabetic mice. (h, i) The expression of rhodopsin and opsin was measured in diabetic mice. (j, l) The expression of AGEs and p-AMPK as measured in diabetic mice. The data are presented as the ( in each group). , , .
