PG - 123-5 AB - Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or normal goat serum (NGS) was injected intravitreously in each 11 wistar albino rats two days before the induction of ischemia. Retinal ischemia was induced in 22 rats by increasing intraocular pressure to the threshold level which extinguished the electroretinography (ERG) b-wave individually, and maintaining for 90 minutes. The ERG b-wave of the BDNF-treated rats recovered to 80.5 +/- 24.4% of their normal amplitude three days after ischemia, while that of the NGS-treated rats recovered only to 11.1 +/- 5.3%. Statistic analysis showed that the recovery level of ERG b-wave after ischemia in the BDNF and NGS treated rats was significantly different (P < 0.01). The results suggest that BDNF could promote the recovery of the retinal electrophysiologic function from ischemia induced by high intraocular pressure.
