Cellular and Vascular Changes in the Retina of Neonatal Rats after an Acute Exposure to Hypoxia [Retina]

This study describes the changes in neurons and Müller cells of the neonatal retina in response to exposure to hypoxia. The vascular permeability and the therapeutic potential of melatonin in reversing the hypoxic damage were also investigated. Literature on the effects of primary hypoxia on the structure of the developing neonatal retina is scanty. (Source: Investigative Ophthalmology)
