| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Six-week old Balb/c male mice were exposed to the light after dark adaptation, and the cell death in the retina was analyzed using TUNEL assay. The TUNEL positive and apoptotic cells were increased only in the photoreceptor layer 2 days after light exposure. The TUNEL staining was positive in the nuclei which were defined by the staining with Dapi. The mice were treated with an antioxidant, which is supposed to affect mitochondria, before light exposure to analyze the effects on the apoptosis, although the significant effect was not detected.
