Thalidomide 39-50 Vegfa Cavia porcellus 98-102 17786465-8 2008 The thalidomide/ischemia group retinal VEGF level was significantly lower versus the ischemia group. Thalidomide 4-15 Vegfa Cavia porcellus 39-43 17786465-13 2008 CONCLUSION: Thalidomide treatment decreases PMNL infiltration, retinal edema, VEGF, and TNF-alpha synthesis following I/R injury to the guinea pig retina. Thalidomide 12-23 Vegfa Cavia porcellus 78-82
