Description
The P23H transgenic rat was engineered to mimic a human form of retinal degeneration caused by a mutation in rhodopsin. We have tested whether the P23H transgene influences the vulnerability of photoreceptors to modest variations in ambient light, well within the physiological range. P23H-3 (P23H line 3) and control Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were raised in cyclic light (12 h light, 12 h dark), with the light phase set at either 5 lx ('scotopic-reared') or 40-60 lx ('mesopic-reared'). Mesopic...[Show more]
