Nicotine Exposure Exacerbates Development of Cataracts in a Type 1 Diabetic Rat Model
Figure 4
(a) Evolution of cataract scores over weeks 9, 10, and 11 of the study shows significantly higher scores for nicotine-treated diabetic rats (dashed line) compared to untreated diabetics (solid line) at each time point (). (b) Evolution of non-fasting blood glucose levels over weeks 9, 10, and 11 of the study shows significantly increased blood glucose levels for nicotine-treated diabetics (dashed) compared to their untreated counterparts (solid) ().
