A Novel High Resolution In Vivo Digital Imaging System for the Evaluation of Experimental Cataract in Diabetic Rats

The purpose of this study was to establish a novel imaging system for evaluation of cataract in small animals. Diabetic cataract was induced in male Wistar rats by a combination of a bolus injection of streptozotocin (65 mg/kg, i.v.) and 5% D-glucose given as drinking water. To assess cataract devel...
