Hyperglycemia Induces Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2022 Patients diagnosed with diabetes are inclined to have abnormalities on stability of tear film and disorder of meibomian gland (MG). This study aims to explore the pathological change of MG induced by diabetes in a rat model.Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were intraperitoneally injected with streptozotocin (STZ) to establish a diabetic animal model.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: Endocrine Aspects [PDF]
ISRN Ophthalmology, 2011 Purpose. To compare the hormone levels of patients with seborrheic meibomian gland dysfunction with controls. Procedures. This is a retrospective case-control study involving 50 patients and 50 controls. Blood workup for hormones was studied in both groups by using macroELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Statistical evaluation was done by using
