Pathological Features of Diabetic Retinopathy in Spontaneously Diabetic Torii Fatty Rats

Figure 7

Comparison of the retinal folds in the study animals at 40 weeks of age. The numbers of retinal folds, defined as deformations from the outer nuclear layer to the photoreceptor layer, were measured within 1,500 microns of the optic nerve disc. The retinal folds (arrows) in the Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rats are more severe than in the SDT rats. The scale bar indicates 100 microns.
