Senescent Changes and Topography of the Dark-Adapted Multifocal Electroretinogram.

abstract：PURPOSE:Erythropoietin (EPO) modulates erythropoiesis by inhibiting apoptosis in erythrocyte progenitors. Recently, EPO has been shown to be protective in experimental models of mechanical trauma, neuroinflammation, cerebral and retinal ischemia, and even in a human stroke trial. However, little is known about EPO sign...
