Fig 5 RT-qPCR results for retinal tissue markers of inflammation.

Fold changes in expression for (A) retinal survival genes BDNF and TGFβ, (B) endothelial growth markers VCAM and VEGF and (C) inflammatory cytokines IL6 and IL1β assessed in retinal homogenates. Expression was normalized to hkg gene rpl13a and fold changes are shown relative to Control, which was set as 1. Kruskal Wallis nonparametric ANOVA with pairwise comparisons was used to examine changes in expression for each gene. No overall significance across groups for any genes of interest were noted. Data presented show individual biological replicates. * < 0.05, ** < 0.01, and *** < 0.001. Condition = treatment + exposure groups.
