Figure Lengend Snippet: ALA ameliorates radiation-induced corneal fluorescein staining. ( A ) Fluorescent slit-lamp photographs of the eyes of all groups. ( B ) Corneal epitheliums of each groups stained with H&E. Scale bar, 25 μm ( C ) Corneal fluorescein grading score of each group. ( D ) Corneal tissue injury was scored by epithelium height. The quantitative data are presented as means ± SEM. * p < 0.05 versus each marked group. Con, control. ALA, alpha-lipoic acid. RT, radiation. ALA + RT, ALA and radiation.
Article Snippet: Corneal epithelium height was measured in five sections of each eye using NIS Elements BR3.2 (Nikon, Minato, Japan).
