Nicotine Exposure Exacerbates Development of Cataracts in a Type 1 Diabetic Rat Model
Figure 1
Percent change in body weight (a) and glucose (b) for experimental groups: untreated diabetics (∆), nicotine-treated control (•), nicotine-treated diabetics (▲), and control (°). (a): Both diabetic groups had impaired weight gain, while both nicotine-treated and untreated control groups continued to gain weight throughout the study. The symbol “BL” represents baseline on the -axis. (b): Both treated and untreated diabetic groups had increased blood glucose (mg/dL) as compared to control rates.
