Abstract
The effect of acute hypoglycaemia (plasma glucose less than 2.2 mmol/l) on retinal venous blood flow in the minipig has been determined using bidirectional laser Doppler velocimetry and red free retinal photography. In six pigs the mean flow in a retinal vein increased from 19.3 (+/- 2.8 SEM) microliters/min to 29.7 (+/- 7.5) microliters/min during hypoglycaemia (p less than 0.05) with a return to 18.6 (+/- 3.6) microliters/min when euglycaemia was restored. Retinal blood flow is affected by hypoglycaemia or its haemodynamic consequences.Entities:
