Abstract:The present study induced prolonged hyperglycemia (a hallmark symptom of Type 2 diabetes [T2DM]) in Danio rerio (zebrafish) for eight or twelve weeks. The goal of this research was to study cognitive decline as well as vision loss in hyperglycemic zebrafish. Fish were submerged in glucose for eight or twelve weeks, after which they were assessed with both a cognitive assay (three-chamber choice) and a visual assay (optomotor response (OMR)). Zebrafish were also studied during recovery from hyperglycemia. Here,… Show more
