Abstract

FLIO measurement in mouse models has been established in order to investigate effects of specific metabolic, structural, and hereditary conditions on fundus autofluorescence lifetimes. Individual FLIO lifetimes have been defined in pigmented C57BL/6 and non-pigmented albino mice (BALBc). In both mouse models, in contrast to the human retina, fluorescence lifetimes were significantly longer and decreased over time. Additionally, FLIO was performed in a mouse model of spontaneous retinal degeneration and in mouse models of pharmacologically induced retinal degeneration in order to differentiate the contribution of different retinal layers. FLIO measurements in mouse models and in vitro measurements may contribute to a more profound understanding of the origin of fundus fluorophores and their lifetimes, and of (patho)physiological mechanisms in healthy and diseased retinae.
