Age-related functional and structural retinal modifications in the Igf1−/− null mouse
Background: Mutations in the gene encoding human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) cause syndromic neurosensorial deafness. To understand the precise role of IGF-I in retinal physiology, we have studied the morphology and electrophysiology of the retina of the Igf1−/− mice in comparison with that...
