Diabetes changes the levels of ionotropic glutamate receptors in the rat retina
Santiago, Ana R.; Gaspar, Joana M.; Baptista, Filipa I.; Cristóvão, Armando J.; Santos, Paulo F.; Kamphuis, Willem; Ambrósio, António F.Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness among adults between the age 20 to 74. Changes in ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit composition can affect retinal glutamatergic neurotransmission and, therefore, contribute to visual impairment. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether diabetes leads to changes in ionotropic glutamate receptor subunit expression ...

Santiago, Ana R.; Hughes, John M.; Kamphuis, Willem; Schlingemann, Reinier O.; Ambrósio, António F.Early diabetic retinopathy is characterized by changes in subtle visual functions such as contrast sensitivity and dark adaptation. The outcome of several studies suggests that glutamate is involved in retinal neurodegeneration during diabetes. We hypothesized that the protein levels of ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits are altered in the retina during diabetes. Therefore, we investigated whether human dia...
