Abstract:
We have successfully measured the intravitreal and intraretinal oxygen distribution in normal rats, during both normoxia and hyperoxia. The feasibility of such measurements in the very small rat eye has opened up the opportunity for the use of the many rat models of vascular disease in physiological experiments of retinal oxygen supply and consumption.
