Purpose:
|
We characterized changes in the visual behavior of pigmented rat in which a loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) was experimentally induced with retro-orbital venous plexus administration of sodium iodate (NaIO3).We compared and correlated these changes with alterations in neural retinal structure and function.
|
|
Methods:
|
RPE loss was induced in 250g pigmented rat with an retro- orbital sinus injection of 5% NaIO3 at two concentrations: 40, 60 mg/kg. At 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days (d) post injection (PI) a behavioral test was performed to evaluate visual function. Eye morphology was then assessed for changes in both the RPE and neural retina.
|
|
Results:
|
NaIO3 induced RPE degeneration was both dose and PI time dependent. Our low dose showed effects, while our high dose caused the most damage. At 7 d PI visual behavior became abnormal and patchy RPE cell loss was observed. From7 d PI onward, changes in retinal morphology and visual behavior became more severe.
|
|
Conclusion:
|
These results show that NaIO3 dosage and/or time PI can be varied to produce different, yet permanent deficits in retinal morphology and visual function.
