Age dependent sensitivity of the rat retina to the excitotoxic action ofN-methyl-D-aspartate

Age dependent sensitivity of the rat retina to the excitotoxic action ofN-methyl-D-aspartate

We have found that the rat retina can be isolated atraumatically and incubatedex vivofor up to 24 h without showing signs of histological deterioration, and that retinas from adult or aged rats can be isolated as successfully as those from immature rats. In the present study we used this preparation...
