Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine whether apoptosis of retinal neurons induced by excessive light exposure and ischemia-reperfusion injury is altered in caspase-1 knockout mice. METHODS: Eight- to 10-week-old caspase-1 knockout mice (Casp1-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice (C57BL/6) were exposed to diffuse, cool, white fluorescent light of 25,000 lux for 2 h. Other mice were subjected to retinal ischemia by increasing the...
