2021, Progress in Retinal and Eye ResearchCitation Excerpt :In contrast to the demonstrable effects of glycemic control on the retinal vasculature, however, the five years of chronic hyperglycemia did not cause any reduction in thickness of the ONL (assessed in tissue sections of non-tapetal inferior, nasal retina), thus showing no evidence of loss of retinal photoreceptors due to diabetes in this large animal. In retinas of a single hypertensive monkey who spontaneously developed type 2 diabetes, a severe decline in number of photoreceptor inner and outer segments was observed (Johnson et al., 2005). Cones also are affected in diabetes.
