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.
Categories
Diabetes and metabolic syndrome: The paper investigates the effects of diabetes on the non-image-forming visual system in rats, finding that the system remained largely unaffected at advanced stages of diabetes.
Eye health: The paper discusses the impact of diabetes on the non-image-forming visual system in the eyes of rats, and the potential for lensectomy to restore circadian alterations induced by diabetes.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the impact of diabetes on the regulation of circadian rhythms, which are controlled by hormones.
Phototherapy: The paper discusses the potential for lensectomy, a form of phototherapy, to restore circadian alterations induced by diabetes.
