[Endoplasmic reticulum stress participates in the cell apoptosis process in experimental retinal detachment].

Objective: To determine whether the endoplasmic reticulum stress participates into the apoptosis process of the retina during experimental retinal detachment-by detecting the level of mRNA and protein of the GADD153, the marker of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Methods: Completely random design is applied. Experimental retinal detachment was created in the left eyes of 77 wistar rats by injecting hyaluronic acid into the subretinal space.
