Retinoprotective Effect of Epithalon in Campbell Rats of Various Ages

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the retinoprotective effect of Epithalon administered to the offspring of Campbell rats during postnatal ontogeny and to mothers before mating and during pregnancy. After this treatment the morphological structure and functional activity of the retina were preserved for a longer period compared to control rats (by 2 times) and to the animals receiving the peptide only during postnatal ontogeny (by 30%).
