Hypoglycemic Effect of Kyllinga Triceps in STZ Induced Diabetic Rats Kyllinga triceps is a medicinal plant found in India.The present study was conducted to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity of the plant in Streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats. These diabetic rats were given Kyllinga triceps extract (KTE‚ 100mg/kg & 200mg/kg) and Glibenclamide (0.5mg/kg) for 28 days. The effects of both treatments on the body weight and blood glucose were determined. Both doses of extract and Glibenclamide

Recent advances in technology permit measurement of characteristics of the nerve fibres that make up the optic nerve. One of these is SD-OCT(Fig2)‚ a non contact‚ non-invasive method that enables physicians to obtain in vivo‚ high resolution (upto 5 microns) cross-sectional images of the retina. It is based on principle of low-coherence interferometry(Fig 3). By imaging a 3D cube of data it allows a detailed evaluation of the peripapillary area.

What happens in diabetes? Lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin is known to have major metabolic effects. Food powers our bodies. When we eat food‚ most digestable carbohydrates are converted into glucose and rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. We use this glucose for energy. However these carbohydrates cannot be utilized effectively and excess glucose cannot be stored in the liver. The glucose level in the blood increases but the cells of the body will be lacking of glucose and energy.

Photocoagulation involves using light in order to coagulate retinal tissue. Photocoagulation may also prevent the progression of macular edema. Focal photocoagulation may be used in these cases. Proliferative retinopathy is an advanced form of diabetic retinopathy. Scatter‚ or pan-retinal‚ photocoagulation can be used
