Effects of exogenous gangliosides on the pattern of respiratory enzymes in experimental diabetic retino-pathy in the rat.
The prevalence of LDH1 in the retina let us think that this tissue, in normal conditions, is particularly resistant to anoxia; yet the datum relative to the variations, of LDH1 pattern in the degenerating retina with decrease of LDH1, makes more probable the hypothesis of a variable sensitivity of the enzyme in the normal metabolic conditions. This consideration, which can also be extended to the other enzymatic systems, justifies our research line.
