cardiovascular system
• in a model of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), proliferative neovascularization is not induced in the retinas of mutants during normoxic conditions preceded by hyperoxic treatment

vision/eye
• during prolonged exposure to normoxia following hyperoxic treatment, retinas exhibit degeneration in the inner nuclear layer at P21 due to poor neovascularization
|
• mutants subjected to the model of retinopathy of prematurity show a complete loss of b-wave and oscillatory potentials but have a normal a-wave amplitude in a single-flash electroretinogram (ERG)
