Neurodegeneration and Neuroinflammation in Diabetic Retinopathy: Potential Approaches to Delay Neuronal Loss
In spite of the extensive research the complex pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR) has not been fully elucidated. For many years it has been thought that diabetic retinopathy manifests only with microangiopathic lesions, which are totally responsible for the loss of vision in diabetic patients. In view of the current knowledge on the microangiopathic changes in the fundus of the eye, diab...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration and Neuroprotection in Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is widely considered to be a neurovascular disease. This is in contrast to its previous identity as solely a vascular disease. Early in the disease progression of diabetes, the major cells in the neuronal component of the retina consist of retinal ganglion cells and glial cells, both of which have been found to be compromised. A number of retinal function tests also indicat...

Inflammatory activation of microglia is a hallmark of several disorders of the central nervous system. In addition to protecting the brain against inflammatory insults, microglia are neuroprotective and play a significant role in maintaining neuronal connectivity, but the prolongation of an inflammatory status may limit the beneficial functions of these immune cells. The finding that estrogen r...
متن کاملNeurodegeneration in Diabetic Retinopathy: Current Concepts and Therapeutic Implications
3001 The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has increased significantly in recent decades in China. Recently, it has been reported that the estimated prevalence of DM among a representative sample of Chinese adults was 11.6% and the prevalence of prediabetes was 50.1%.[1] Furthermore, the awareness, treatment, and control rates of DM in the general Chinese population are disproportionately lo...
متن کاملAgeing, neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration.
During ageing, different iron complexes accumulate in specific brain regions which are associated with motor and cognitive dysfunction. In neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, changes in local iron homoeostasis result in altered cellular iron distribution and accumulation, ultimately inducing neurotoxicity. The use of iron chelators which are able to ...
