Glial cell swelling is a central cause of ischemic edema in the brain and retina; however, the regulation of glial cell volume by endogenous factors in situ is largely unknown. In slices of the postischemic retina of the rat, the somata of glial (Mรผller) cells swell upon hypotonic stress that is not

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Previous reports indicate that Genistein, a naturally occurring isoflavonoid, exhibits strong antiangiogenic activity. The underlying mechanism of inhibition, however, remains unclear. Among the biologic effects of Genistein are the inhibition of tyrosine kinases and the
## Abstract Glial cell lineโderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to be neuroprotective in animal models of the dopamine deficiency in Parkinson's disease. To examine the role of the extracellular signalโregulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) in this process, we infused a single dose of GDN
