Outline of Final Research Achievements

We found that there were reactive persulfides and polysulfides in blood, aqueous humor and vitreous in diabetic eyes as well as controls. Furthermore, the concentration of some persulfides was different between diabetic eyes and controls, and there were some correlations between the persulfides in aqueous humor and vitreous.
