L-DOPA treatment promotes sustained neurovascular and synaptic homeostasis in the diabetic retina
2026-02-18
Abstract excerpt
While previous work has shown a sustained protective effect of levodopa (L-DOPA) on retinal function in early-stage diabetic retinopathy (DR) in humans, its underlying biology is unknown. Using noninvasive measures in diabetic mice, we found L-DOPA protects retinal neurovascular function as measured by oscillatory potential timing and flicker-evoked retinal vasodilation, as well as visual behavior, for at least tw...
