Correlation between the population of photoreceptor nuclei ( black bar ) and the mitochondrial Cox Va immunostaining ( gray bar ) in the inner segments. The level of Cox Va expressed by the mitochondria in the inner segments is proportional to the number of photoreceptor nuclei in all groups, except for retinas in 10dNT group. Animals that from 0dNT (nontreated, non-hyperoxic) group were used as baseline controls.
