Frequency domain analysis of dark-adapted oscillatory potentials of electroretinogram in RCS rats
Objective To investigate the characteristics of frequency domain of dark-adapted oscillatory potentials (OPs) of electroretinogram (ERG) in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats. Methods Different ages (20
30
40 and 60 d) of RCS-rdy

rats were involved
and there were three rats of each age. Dark-adapted OPs of flash ERG (F-ERG) was recorded with RETI-scan system. Gold-foil ring cornea electrode was used as the recording electrode and home-made stainless steel needle electrode was used as the reference. The intensity of lig
ht was 0 dB. OPs components were extracted by software Matlab 7.0 and the characteristics of OPs were analyzed. Results Compared with the normal rats with same age
the frequency-domain amplitude of RCS rats significantly reduced (
P
0.01) and the high-frequency components of RCS rats disappeared. With the development of the disease
the frequency of the peak amplitude was delayed to high frequency at 40 d (
P
0.05)
and the amplitude of the peak reduced significantly at 60 d (
P
0.05). Conclusions There is a correlation between the frequency-domain characteristics of OPs and the development of the disease in RCS rats. By using these characteristics
it is possible to know the influences of the disease on the retinal function of RCS rats.
