PARAAMINOBENZOIC ACID IMPROVES SURVIVAL OF PHOTORECEPTORS IN rd10 MICE MODEL
The effect of PABA in rd10 mice on photoreceptor survival, rhodopsin, blue opsin and red/green opsin contents were quantified in retinal
sections using immunofluorescent techniques. The red/green cone opsin content was significantly higher in the retina of rd10 mice treated with
PABA(р
