Activation of Melanocortin Receptors MC(1) and MC(5) Attenuates Retinal Damage in Experimental Diabetic Retinopathy

We hypothesize that melanocortin receptors (MC) could activate tissue protective circuit in a model of streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetic retinopathy (DR) in mice. At 12–16 weeks after diabetes induction, fluorescein angiography (FAG) revealed an approximate incidence of 80% microvascular chang...
