This study aimed to investigate whether oxidative stress contributes to retinal cell death in a mouse model of photoreceptor degeneration induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). We measured in vitro MNU-induced radical production in retinal cell cultures of murine 661W photoreceptor-derived cells;...
