Purpose:To investigate and compare the latency and amplitude of the electroretinogram(ERG) photopic negative response(PhNR) between young and old Lewis rats.Methods:Thirteen Lewis rats were divided into two groups according to ages,young group(3-month old,n=5) and old group(24 month old,n=8).The ERGs of the left eyes were measured and the latency and amplitude of a-wave,b-wave and PhNRs were recorded and compared according to ages.The mean values between two groups were statistically analysed by t-test.Results:The latency of PhNRs was evidently prolonged in old group and showed significant difference(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between two groups regarding the amplitude and latency,and no significant difference was noted in the amplitude of PhNRs.Conclusion:The prolonged latency of PhNR in aged rats possibly associate with the influence of aging upon retinal ganglion cell layer(RGCL).
Purpose: To investigate and compare the latency and amplitude of the electroretinogram (ERG) photopic negative response (PhNR) between young and old Lewis rats. Methods: Thirteen Lewis rats were divided into two groups according to ages, young group (3-month old , n = 5) and old group (24 month old, n = 8). The ERGs of the left eyes were measured and the latency and amplitude of a-wave, b-wave and PhNRs were recorded and compared according to ages. Results were: the latency of PhNRs was evidently prolonged in old groups and showed significant difference (P <0.05). There was no significant significant difference between two groups regarding the amplitude and latency, and no significant difference was noted in the amplitude of PhNRs.Conclusion: The prolonged latency of PhNR in aged rats potentially associate with the influence of aging on retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL).
