Hyperglycemia causes differential change in macrophage population in the lacrimal gland, conjunctiva and cornea
Our data shows that diabetes-associated hyperglycemia can cause a significant decrease in microphage population with changing their plasticity or activation status in lacrimal gland, conjunctiva and cornea but the kinetics of decrease and recovery show differential pattern specific for each tissue.
