Ultrastructural Changes and Expression of PCNA and RPE65 in Sodium Iodate-Induced Acute Retinal Pigment Epithelium Degeneration Model
Alteration in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) results in the visual dysfunction and blindness of retinal degenerative diseases. Injection of sodium iodate (NaIO3) generates degeneration of RPE. We analyzed the s...

Ascorbic Acid Attenuates Lead-Induced Alterations in the Synapses in the Develo** Rat Cerebellum
We evaluated the effect of lead (Pb) and ascorbic acid treatment of pregnant female rats on cerebellar development in pups. Pb was administered in drinking water (0.2% Pb acetate), and ascorbic acid (100 mg/kg...
