We have characterized the vascular, neuronal, and glial changes in oxygen‐induced
retinopathy, a model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Newborn Sprague‐Dawley rats …

The continuing worldwide epidemic of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of
childhood visual impairment, strongly motivates further research into mechanisms of the …

purpose. In a rat model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), the retinal vasculature and
function of the neural retina were studied longitudinally. Vascular and neural parameters …

Retinopathy of prematurity is a devastating vascular disease of premature infants. A number
of studies indicate that retinal function is affected in this disease. Using the rat model of …

Purpose.: To characterize concurrent retinal vessel pathologies reminiscent to retinopathy of
prematurity (ROP) in a rat model of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), in order to identify …

Identification of a suitable animal model is essential for the continued study of retinopathy of
prematurity (ROP). Since 1984 we have used the newborn rat for the study of oxygen …

Purpose A conventional criticism of animal models of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
concerns the common occurrence of rapid spontaneous resolution of retinal vascular …

Prior studies have documented the intertwined developmental courses of retinal blood
vessel tortuosity (in fundus photographs) and retinal dysfunction (in electroretinographs) in …

Recent findings indicate that retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), presently classified by clinical
examinations of retinal vascular tissue, is associated with structural alterations of the central …

Severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) occurs in the smallest and sickest of premature
infants. We hypothesized that, in a rat model of oxygen induced retinopathy, abnormal …
