Effect of experimental diabetic retinopathy on the non-image-forming visual system
Summary:
This paper investigates the non-image-forming visual system in an advanced stage of experimental diabetes in rats induced by streptozotocin, finding that the neuronal substrate of the non-image-forming visual system remained largely unaffected at advanced stages of diabetes, and that lensectomy, a relatively easy and safe surgery, could partially restore circadian alterations induced by diabetes.
