: Glial, neuronal, vascular, RPE and inflammatory cell damage in a new Western diet-induced primate model of . Authors from University of Sydney, UAB - The University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Canberra and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).
This study investigated retinal changes in a Western diet (WD)-induced non-human primate (NHP) model of Type 2 diabetes (T2D).
