Neonatal hyperglycemia inhibits angiogenesis and induces inflammation and neuronal degeneration in the retina.

Neonatal hyperglycemia inhibits angiogenesis and induces inflammation and neuronal degeneration in the retina.

Recent evidence suggests that transient hyperglycemia in extremely low birth weight infants is strongly associated with the occurrence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). We propose a new model of Neonatal Hyperglycemia-induced Retinopathy (NHIR) that mimics many aspects of retinopathy of prematuri...
