vision/eye
• outer segments are poorly oriented and only about 60% of normal length
|
• outer segments are short with loss or disruption of many membranous disks
|
• photoreceptor degeneration is seen in animals raised in darkness
(J:57704)
• loss of photoreceptors
(J:77624)
|
• thinning of the outer nuclear layer to a thickness of 6-8 cells rather than 10-11 at age 11 days
• by 1 month of age, outer nuclear layer has become thinner than at 11 days of age
|
• electroretinogram response in 1 month old rats is reduced in amplitude
• a-wave amplitude is half that of normal controls
