Abstract

Chronic hyperglycemic conditions in diabetes mellitus can cause changes that result in chronic complications, both macrovascular and microvascular. There are several mechanisms thought to cause microvascular damage and retinopathy in diabetes, namely the polyol pathway, formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE), activation of protein kinase C (PKC), oxidative stress, and increased activity of the hexosamine pathway.
