Aucuba japonica extract inhibits retinal neovascularization in a mouse model of oxygen‐induced retinopathy, with its bioactive components preventing VEGF‐induced retinal vascular hyperpermeability

Abstract Neovascularization in the retina is common pathophysiology of diabetic retinal microvasculopathy and exudative macular degeneration. Our study assessed the inhibitory activity of an ethanol‐based extract of Aucuba japonica (AJE) on abnormal angiogenesis in the retina with a hyperoxia‐induce...
