The effect of postnatal growth retardation on abnormal neovascularization in the oxygen exposed neonatal rat.

abstract：:Calpains are calcium-activated proteinases which have been implicated in tissue differentiation and degeneration. The aims of the present study were: (1) to determine the relationship between postnatal age and calpain activity in the rat retina; (2) to test if calpain activity was aberrant in the RCS retina at differe...
