The mouse model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) has been widely used in studies
related to retinopathy of prematurity, proliferative diabetic retinopathy and in studies …

Retinopathy of prematurity is a blinding disease, initiated by lack of retinal vascular growth
after premature birth. We show that lack of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in knockout mice …

A large body of data is available to support the hypothesis that dopamine (DA) is one of the
retinal neurotransmitters involved in the signaling cascade that controls eye growth by …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of potentially preventable blindness
in preterm infants worldwide. It is a disease caused by abnormal retinal vascularization that …

Objectives: To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the
pathogenesis of the first phase of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and to examine the …

Lutein is one of the few xanthophyll carotenoids that is found in high concentration in the
macula of human retina. As de novo synthesis of lutein within the human body is impossible …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication associated with chronic exposure
to hyperglycemia and is a major cause of blindness worldwide. Although clinical …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in children in developed
