Loss of retinal capillary density and vessel leakage in Akimba mice. Isolectin-GS IB4 staining on retinal flat mount showed normal vascular bed and uniform capillary distribution in WT (A-C) mouse, which was reduced markedly in Kimba (D-F) Akita - (G-I) and significantly higher in Akimba (J-L) mice. Disruption of the capillary network was noted especially around the optic disk of Akimba (K) retina.
