Diabetic Retinopathy and Damage to Mitochondrial Structure and Transport Machinery
15 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mitochondrial function is controlled by membrane structure. In diabetes, retinal mitochondria are dysfunctional, and reversal of hyperglycemia fails to inhibit such changes. The goal of this study was to use anatomic and molecular biologic techniques to investigate the effect of diabetes on mitochondrial membrane structure. METHODS: Wistar rats were maintained in poor glycemic control (PC; GHb 11.2%) or...
