Evaluation of Neonatal Streptozotocin Induced Diabetic Rat Model for the Development of Cataract

Figure 4

Cataract development in nSTZ induced diabetic rats. Cataract formation was monitored weekly by slit-lamp microscope and the stage of cataract was scored according to the classification described in Section 2. Stages of cataract in each group were averaged at the given time and plotted as a function of time. Representative photographs of lens from each group at the end of experiment are shown in the inset. Values represent the mean ± SD. The asterisk denotes that data are significantly different from control group.
