Popis: AIM:To investigate the effect of growth hormone releasing peptide(ghrelin)on diabetic retinopathy in rats and study its protective effect.METHODS: Eighteen male SD rats were divided into control group, model group and ghrelin group. HE staining was used to observe the morphology of retina, TUNEL staining was used to observe apoptosis, transmission electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructure of retinal pigment epithelium, immunohistochemistry was used to detect oxidative stress index, and ELISA was used to detect the content of inflammatory factors. RESULTS:Morphological observation showed that ghrelin could reduce the degree of retinal tissue damage and the apoptosis of retinal tissue in diabetic rats. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the activities of SOD(superoxide dismutase)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)in retina tissue of ghrelin group were increased, and the content of malondialdehyde(MDA)was decreased, compared with model group(P
