Alterations in the mouse retina in the expression of gene markers for inflammation and ER stress after treatment with NMDA and hesperidin. Damage to the retina after the injection of PBS, NMDA or NMDA/hesperidin was investigated with quantitative RT-PCR measurement of TNF-α (a) and Ddit3 (b), which are markers of inflammation and ER stress, respectively (n = 6–7). The expression of each gene was normalized to Gapdh. Data represent mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
