Figure 7. Proposed model of LT generation and action in the retina during diabetes.

Figure 7.

Leukocytes initiate the inflammatory LT cascade. In diabetes, resident retinal cells amplify the generation of LTs. These mediators induce the generation of other proinflammatory molecules and superoxide via paracrine and autocrine actions. AA, arachidonic acid.
