Effect of DHA-supplemented diet on long-term diabetes-induced degenerative changes in rat retina. Retinas isolated 9 months after induction of diabetes were analyzed by quantitative PCR and immunobloting for inflammatory/angiogenic molecule expression. Quantitative PCR analysis of <t>ASM,</t> ICAM-1, <t>VEGF,</t> and IL-1β ( A ) of retinas isolated from rats subjected to a standard diet (control, white bar ; diabetic, black bar ) or a DHA-enriched diet (diabetic, striped bar) is shown. The results are means ± SE from one set of animals, with five to eight animals in each group. * P
