SummaryPlatelet survival in diabetes mellitus may be decreased or normal, and it is not clear whether altered platelet survival is due to a platelet or to a non-platelet defect. Therefore, platelet survival studies were performed at intervals up to 28 days in streptozotocin-induced diabetic and normal rats, using washed platelets from diabetic or normal animals.When compared to platelets from control rats, there was a significant decrease in platelet survival when platelets from 7 and 14 day diabetic rats were injected into normal controls or into diabetic rats.After 28 days of diabetes, platelet survival in diabetic rats was significantly lengthened, whether the platelets came from control or diabetic rats. Conclusions. (1) Shortened platelet survival in the diabetic rat is caused initially by a platelet defect. Later, non-platelet factors become dominant. (2) These findings may help explain reported discrepancies in results of platelet survival in diabetes mellitus.

Oculomotor Nerves

Diabetes mellitus is one of the commonest causes of neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a heterogeneous group of neuropathic disorders to which patients with diabetes mellitus are susceptible; more than one kind of neuropathy can frequently occur in the same individual. Abnormalities are also known to occur in nearly every anatomic subdivision of the eye in diabetic patients. Oculomotor palsy appears to be common in diabetes mellitus for their occurrence in isolation to suggest diabetes. Nerves to the external ocular muscles are most commonly affected, particularly the oculomotor or third cranial nerve. The third nerve palsy of diabetes is characteristic, being of sudden onset, accompanied by orbital and retro-orbital pain, often associated with complete involvement of the external ocular muscles innervated by the nerve. While the human and experimental animal literature is replete with studies on the peripheral nerves in diabetes mellitus, there is but a paucity of reported studies dealing with the oculomotor nerves and their associated extraocular muscles (EOMs).
