abstract = "PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of intraocular erucylphosphocholine (ErPC) on the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and the choroid in an in vivo rat model.METHODS: Adult male Brown Norway rats were injected intravitreally with ErPC dissolved in balanced salt solution (BSS) at a final concentration of 10 or 100 microM with BSS serving as control. Adverse effects on the anterior and posterior segment were assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy. Retinal toxicity was assessed by electroretinography (ERG), retinal ganglion cell (RGC) quantification, and histology 7 days after intravitreal administration of ErPC.RESULTS: There was neither a statistically significant difference in the clinical examination nor in the ERG waves of treated versus control rats 7 days after intravitreal administration of ErPC. Correspondingly, the number of RGC after BSS injection did not differ significantly from ErPC-injected animals. Histologic sections of the posterior segment of 10 and 100 microM ErPC-injected rats did not show any signs of retinal toxicity. Electron microscopy did not display a difference between the 10 microM and the control group. Only the 100 microM-injected animals showed a discrete irregularity of the M{\"u}ller cell and the retinal ganglion cell cytoplasm at the ultrastructural level.CONCLUSIONS: ErPC can safely be injected into the vitreous of adult rats at a concentration of 10 microM without any retinal toxicity. Even a 10-fold increase in ErPC concentration leads only to a discrete cytoplasmic irregularity of the innermost retinal layers.",

N2 - PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of intraocular erucylphosphocholine (ErPC) on the retina, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and the choroid in an in vivo rat model.METHODS: Adult male Brown Norway rats were injected intravitreally with ErPC dissolved in balanced salt solution (BSS) at a final concentration of 10 or 100 microM with BSS serving as control. Adverse effects on the anterior and posterior segment were assessed by slit-lamp biomicroscopy and ophthalmoscopy. Retinal toxicity was assessed by electroretinography (ERG), retinal ganglion cell (RGC) quantification, and histology 7 days after intravitreal administration of ErPC.RESULTS: There was neither a statistically significant difference in the clinical examination nor in the ERG waves of treated versus control rats 7 days after intravitreal administration of ErPC. Correspondingly, the number of RGC after BSS injection did not differ significantly from ErPC-injected animals. Histologic sections of the posterior segment of 10 and 100 microM ErPC-injected rats did not show any signs of retinal toxicity. Electron microscopy did not display a difference between the 10 microM and the control group. Only the 100 microM-injected animals showed a discrete irregularity of the Müller cell and the retinal ganglion cell cytoplasm at the ultrastructural level.CONCLUSIONS: ErPC can safely be injected into the vitreous of adult rats at a concentration of 10 microM without any retinal toxicity. Even a 10-fold increase in ErPC concentration leads only to a discrete cytoplasmic irregularity of the innermost retinal layers.
