Zusammenfassung
Clinical and experimental evidence suggests that hyperglycemic memory is part of the complex pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. Perpetuation of oxidative stress, irreversible accumulation of AGEs and hyperglycemia-induced epigenetic changes are possible underlying mechanisms. In the present study we address the gap between cellular memory experiments, reflecting days, and animal and human disease, representing years. STZ (140 mg/kg/body weight) induced diabetic C57Bl6 mice (n = 4 – 6/group) with a hyperglycemia (30 mmol/l) duration of 12 weeks were utilized (DC12W; NC12W = Control). Group B12W was treated in…
