Effect of curcumin on corneal neovascularization. (A, B) The photograph on the left shows a cornea containing bFGF and curcumin, while the cornea on the right contains TPCPD, a control substance, and an equal quantity (80 ng) of bFGF. The arrows point to a corneal feeder vessel, which is enlarged in the absence of curcumin and is attenuated in the presence of curcumin. (C) The bar graph shows the effect of curcumin and TPCPD on vessel length. p < 0.05. (D) The bar graph shows the effect of curcumin and TPCPD on clock hours, a measure of area. The error bars represent standard error of the mean.
