摘要: One of the most threatening aspects diabetes mellitus is development visual impairment. For example, cataracts are 1.6 times more common in people with than those without diabetes. Cataract extraction only treatment. In many cases, diabetes-related ocular pathologies go undiagnosed until function compromised. This paper compares and contrasts changes observed using dynamic light scattering (DLS) conventional ophthalmic techniques during long-term maintenance sand rat (Psammomys obesus) on a high caloric diet. P. obesus wild rodent subfamily Gerbillinae that inhabits desert areas Middle East Africa. animal unique it develops mild to moderate obesity, hyperglycemia, pancreatic atrophy, impaired renal function, ketoacidosis, vision loss, other diabetic complications when consumes this study, five animals were fed Purina chow thus served as normal control animals....
