Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the course of the study, we carried out a dielectric examination to determine the effect of diabetes mellitus on the rat corneal function. Measurements were performed over the frequency range of 500Hz-100kHz in air and at the temperatures from 25 to 150°C. The frequency dependencies of the loss tangent for the healthy and the diabetic cornea exhibit two peaks at 2kHz and 16kHz in the α-dispersion region. The amplitude of these both peaks is smaller for the diabetic cornea than that for the healthy one. The temperature dependencies of the loss tangent for the healthy and the diabetic cornea reveal β-relaxation in the range of 30-70°C and 50-90°C, respectively. The present study exhibits that the dielectric spectroscopy is useful in detection of the effect of diabetes mellitus on the corneal molecular behavior.
