Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate whether triptolide has inhibitory effects on the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), together with its underlying anti-angiogenic mechanisms. METHODS: CNV was induced in C57BL/6 J mice using laser photocoagulation. Triptolide at concentrations of 0.035 and 0.07 mg/kg body weight (BW) or the same volume of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was intraperitoneally injected into...
