## Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of diseases in which one of a wide variety of mutations selectively causes rod photoreceptor cell death. After rods die, cone photoreceptors gradually die resulting in blindness. Antioxidants reduce cone cell death in __rd1__/__rd1__ mi
Transgenic mice expressing a dominant mutation in the gene for the phototransduction molecule rhodopsin undergo retinal degeneration similar to that experienced by patients with the retinal degenerative disease, retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the mutation is thought to cause photoreceptor degen
## Abstract Retinal degenerationβ1 (__rd1__) mice are animal models of retinitis pigmentosa, a blinding disease caused by photoreceptor cell degeneration. This study aims to determine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in retinas of 1β and 3βmonthβold __rd1__ mice. Apparent diffusion coeffici
