Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of D- and L-Glucose and Mannitol on Retinal Capillary Cells: Inhibition by Nanomolar AminoguanidineYongxin Yu, Wei Li, Barbara Wojciechowski et al.Hyperglycemia may contribute directly to pericyte loss and capillary leakage in early diabetic retinopathy. To elucidate relative contributions of glycation, glycoxidation, sugar autoxidation, osmotic stress and metabolic effects in glucose-mediated capillary damage, we tested the effects of D-glucose, L-glucose, mannitol and the potentially protective effects of aminoguanidine on cultured bovine retinal capillary pericytes and endothelial cells. Media (containing 5 mM … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,749 accessesView PDF Cite
