title: Homocysteine toxicity in organotypic cultures of rat retina.
abstract: Effects of homocysteine in toxic concentrations on retinal neurons were studied in vitro. In organotypic roller cultures of postnatal (8-12-day-old) and adult rat retina homocysteine caused multiple damage to neurons in the outer nuclear layer, in deep compartments of the inner nuclear layer, and ganglion cell layer.
