Pathophysiology of Diabetic Retinopathy
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to introduce the multiple interconnecting biochemical pathways that have been proposed and tested as key contributors in the development of diabetic retinopathy, namely, increased polyol pathway, activation of protein kinase C (PKC), increased expression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Risks of progression of retinopathy and vision loss related to tight blood pressure control in type 2 diabetes mellitus: UKPDS 69.
TL;DR: High BP is detrimental to each aspect of diabetic retinopathy; a tight BP control policy reduces the risk of clinical complications from diabetic eye disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal blood flow in diabetic retinopathy.
TL;DR: Retinal blood flow is significantly increased in diabetic retinopathy in comparison with non-diabetic controls and diabetic subjects with no retinopathies, which has implications for controlling hypertension and hyperglycaemia as a strategy in reducing morbidity from diabetic Retinopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Blood Flow and Impaired Autoregulation in the Pathogenesis of Diabetic Retinopathy
TL;DR: Several mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy, and these factors interact and together are responsible for the well-known lesions of vascular occlusion, microaneurysms, hemorrhages' hard exudates, and eventually new vessel formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The retinal blood flow in diabetes.
TL;DR: Retinal blood flow was studied in 9 normal volunteers and 36 diabetic patients and showed that patients with mild or no retinopathy had significantly increased volume flow compared with normals, those with moderate retinography had a slight but not significant increase and those with severe retinopathic had blood flow similar to that found in normals.
