This study was performed to examine the roles of body temperature, NMDA receptors and nitric oxide (NO) synthase in post-ischemic retinal injury in rats. Cell loss in the ganglion cell layer and thinning of the inner plexiform layer were observed 7 days after ischemia. Cell loss in the ganglion cell layer but not thinning of the inner plexiform layer was reduced by hypothermia during ischemia. Intravenous injection of dizocilpine (MK-801) or Nomega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) prior to ischemia ameliorated retinal injury. These results suggest that activation of NO synthase following NMDA receptor stimulation is involved in ischemia-induced retinal injury.
