Oxygen delivery, consumption, and conversion to reactive oxygen species in experimental models of diabetic retinopathy

Retinal tissue receives its supply of oxygen from two sources – the retinal and choroidal circulations. Decreases in retinal blood flow occur in the early stages of diabetes, with the eventual development of hypoxia thought to contribute to pathological neovascularization. Oxygen consumption in the...
