Protective effects of hydrogen gas in a rat model of branch retinal vein occlusion via decreasing VEGF-α expression

Abstract Background Oxidative stress (OS) is an essential factor in the pathogenesis of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). Studies have demonstrated the role of hydrogen gas in the regulation of OS. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of hydrogen gas on the BRVO rat model. Methods Tw...
