Diabetic short-wavelength sensitivity: variations with induced changes in blood glucose level.
نویسندگان
چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate variations in diabetic short-wavelength sensitivity with acute, induced changes in blood glucose level. METHODS Increment threshold measures were obtained for short-wavelength-sensitive and middle/long-wavelength-sensitive cone pathways after an induced, acute change in blood glucose level in diabetic observers. RESULTS Diabetic observers showed an increase in short-wavelength sensitivity, but no change in middle/long-wavelength sensitivity, with a rapid drop in blood glucose level. CONCLUSIONS Experimentally induced changes in diabetic blood glucose levels can directly affect diabetic short-wavelength sensitivity.

Introduction: Application of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the induction of generalized seizure was first introduced in 1938. It is applied for disorders as severe depression particularly for cases which do not respond to drug therapy, or during pregnancy when medication is detrimental to the fetus. The debate on the effect of ECT on blood glucose level is still contradictory. However, st...

In this investigation, diabetes was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 45 mg kg-1 of body weight. A group comprised of 8 diabetic rats was treated with metformin at 100 mg kg-1 of body weight for reducing the elevated blood glucose level. The results revealed that, in the untreated diabetic rats, the body and testicular weigh...

Background and purpose: Diabetes-associated depression may occur due to changes in the quality of life imposed by treatment, or may be a consequence of biochemical changes accompanying the disease. There are some reports indicating that treatment with methanolic extract of dried rhizomes of ginger could lead to a significant reduction in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced elevation of glucose level. ...
