Dark adaptation in diabetes mellitus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of diabetes mellitus on the normal dark adaptation curve is investigated. It has been found that diabetic patients take longer to adapt and that their absolute thresholds are raised. The degree of elevation in the final threshold correlates with the duration of diabetes.

The Effects of Diabetic Retinopathy and Pan-Retinal Photocoagulation on Photoreceptor Cell Function as Assessed by Dark Adaptometry
PURPOSE The pathophysiology of vision loss in persons with diabetic retinopathy (DR) is complex and incompletely defined. We hypothesized that retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and rod and cone photoreceptor dysfunction, as measured by dark adaptometry, would increase with severity of DR, and that pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) would exacerbate this dysfunction. METHODS Dark adaptation (DA...

PURPOSE To examine photoreceptor function in diabetes in detail by evaluating photoreceptor light activation, deactivation of the photoresponse, and recovery of the photoreceptor after bleaching (dark adaptation) in rats made diabetic with streptozotocin (STZ). METHODS Animals were assigned to treated and control groups. Light activation in rod photoreceptors was established using a paired-fl...
متن کامل[A case of syphilitic keratitis and retinopathy].
This case study focuses on keratopathy and chorioretinopathy resulting congenital syphilis. The patient is a 51-year-old man who had diabetes mellitus for eleven years. Furthermore he had interstitial keratitis due to syphilis. Both fundi showed chorioretinal atrophy. The fundus findings were similar to those of retinitis pigmentosa. We examined the visual field, ERG and dark adaptation. The se...
متن کاملDiabetes mellitus type 1 induces dark neuron formation in the dentate gyrus: a study by Gallyas' method and transmission electron microscopy.
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a chronic endogenous stressor. We investigated the effects of a diabetes mellitus type 1 on dark neuron formation in granular layer of dentate gyrus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal (IP) injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at a dose of 60 mg/kg dissolved in saline. Control animals were received only saline. In the end...
