Safranal, a Saffron Constituent, Attenuates Retinal Degeneration in P23H Rats
Figure 3
Assessment of photoreceptor rows in control and safranal-treated P23H rats.
(A–B) Vertical sections from the temporal to nasal area of the retina at the optic nerve level in P23H rats administered with vehicle (A) or safranal (B), stained with TO-PRO (blue), γ-transducin (green) and recoverin (red). (C) Quantification of the number of rows at the ONL along retinal sections (measured at 0.5 mm intervals) in control and safranal-administered P23H animals (n = 6 in both cases). *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001; Student'st-test.
