Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound, reportedly possesses numerous biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In the current study, we examined (1) the dilator effects of resveratrol on retinal arterioles, (2) the protective effects of resveratrol against excitotoxic retinal injury, and (3) whether these effects are mediated by the AMP-activated kinase (AMPK)-dependent pathway in rats. Male Wistar rats (7 to 10 weeks old) were used in this study. The diameters of the retinal arterioles, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate were measured in vivo. The retinal injury was assessed by histological examination. Intravenous injection of resveratrol (3 mg/kg) increased the diameter of the retinal arterioles without affecting the mean arterial pressure and heart rate. The AMPK inhibitor, compound C (5 mg/kg, intravenously), significantly attenuated the retinal vasodilator response to resveratrol. Seven days after intravitreal injection ofN-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA; 25, 50, and 100 nmol/eye), the number of cells located in the ganglion cell layer (GCL) was reduced, along with thinning of the inner plexiform layer. Intravitreal resveratrol injection (100 nmol/eye) reduced the NMDA (25 and 50 nmol/eye)-induced cell loss in the GCL. The neuroprotective effect of resveratrol was significantly but not completely reversed by compound C (10 nmol/eye). These results suggest that resveratrol dilates retinal arterioles and protects against NMDA-induced retinal neurodegeneration via an AMPK-dependent pathway in rats. Resveratrol may have the potential to slow the onset and progression of diseases associated with retinal ischemia by improving impaired retinal circulation and protecting retinal neuronal cells.
