Table 1.

Concentration of glucose in the blood, vitreous, and retina of hypoglycaemic* and control rats

Group Blood glucose (mM) Vitreous glucose (mM) Retinal glucose (μg glucose/mg retina)
Hypoglycaemic 1.5 (0.1) 0.57 (0.04) 5.1 (0.16)
(n = 9) (n = 3) (n = 6)
Control 6.1 (0.7) 3.1 (0.70) 5.3 (0.31)
(n = 6) (n = 6) (n = 6)

*Rats were fasted overnight and injected subcutaneously with rapid acting insulin (2 U/kg); glucose concentrations were measured 2 hours later.
