Article Synopsis
- Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a major cause of vision loss linked to diabetes, prompting a study on the protective effects of pemafibrate in a type 2 diabetes rat model.
- The study involved administering pemafibrate to a group of obese diabetic rats while monitoring their retinal function and health through various examinations, including electroretinography.
- Results indicated that pemafibrate reduced triglycerides and increased good cholesterol, showing improved retinal thickness and larger AQP4-positive areas, suggesting it may help protect against DR.
