Diabetic retinopathy remains a frightening prospect to patients and frustrates physicians.
Destruction of damaged retina by photocoagulation remains the primary treatment nearly 50 …

Müller glial cells ensheath all retinal neurons in vertebrate retinae. There are a multitude of
functional interactions between neurons and Müller cells, including delivery of the light …

Diabetes causes a panretinal neurodegeneration herein termed diabetic retinal neuropathy,
which manifests in the retina early and progresses throughout the disease. Clinical …

Background Despite advances in the understanding of diabetic retinopathy, the nature and
time course of molecular changes in the retina with diabetes are incompletely described …

Purpose:: To evaluate the utility of low luminance stimuli to functionally probe inner retinal
rod pathways in the context of diabetes mellitus in both rat and human subjects. Methods …

purpose. To examine retinal function in female Long-Evans rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-
induced diabetes. methods. Hyperglycemia was induced by IV injection of STZ, and ERG …

Aims Dysfunction of glutamate uptake, largely mediated by the glutamate–aspartate
transporter (GLAST), may lead to retinal cell apoptosis in diabetic retinopathy. The aim of …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of estrogen on functional changes in the
retinas of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats by using an electroretinography …

Topical anesthetics are recommended when electroretinograms (ERGs) are recorded using
contact lens electrodes. However, these drugs act by blocking voltage-gated Na+ channels …
