TLDR
Correct control of the multiple pathways, such as retinal blood flow, tissue oxygenation and metabolic substrate support, aiming at restoring retinal cell metabolic interactions, may be effective in preventing damage occurring during the evolution of ischemic microangiopathies.

Cellular and physiological mechanisms underlying blood flow regulation in the retina and choroid in health and disease.

TL;DR: The cellular and physiological mechanisms responsible for the regulation of blood flow in the retina and choroid in health and disease are reviewed and the role of capillaries, astrocytes and pericytes in regulating blood flow is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography

TL;DR: As compared to standard techniques such as fluorescein and indocyanine-green angiography the technique offers two major advantages: no dye is required and depth resolution is required is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood–retinal barrier in hypoxic ischaemic conditions: Basic concepts, clinical features and management

TL;DR: Clinically, anti-VEGF therapy has been shown to improve vision in diabetic maculopathy and in neovascular ARMD, and the visual benefit appears to arise from the restoration of BRB integrity with a reduction of retinal oedema.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy metabolism of the visual system

TL;DR: The visual system is one of the most energetically demanding systems in the brain, yet repolarization-after-depolarization consumes the bulk of the energy.

The effect of intensive treatment of diabetes on the development and progression of long-term complications in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: Intensive therapy effectively delays the onset and slows the progression of diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy in patients with IDDM.

Intensive blood-glucose control with sulphonylureas or insulin compared with conventional treatment and risk of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (UKPDS 33)

R C Turner, +398 more
- 12 Sep 1998 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of intensive blood-glucose control with either sulphonylurea or insulin and conventional treatment on the risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in a randomised controlled trial were compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

The obligatory role of endothelial cells in the relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by acetylcholine

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relaxation of isolated preparations of rabbit thoracic aorta and other blood vessels by ACh requires the presence of endothelial cells, and that ACh, acting on muscarinic receptors of these cells, stimulates release of a substance(s) that causes relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nitric oxide release accounts for the biological activity of endothelium-derived relaxing factor

TL;DR: NO released from endothelial cells is indistinguishable from EDRF in terms of biological activity, stability, and susceptibility to an inhibitor and to a potentiator.
