RESUMO
Our objective was to determine whether (-)-Epicatechin administered alone or simultaneously with topical Ketorolac decreased the relative expression of GFAP and modulated the response of Nrf2 in a mouse model with induced hyperglycemia. We found that GFAP and Nrf2 decreased in the groups that received treatments alone or simultaneous during 8 weeks; even when the effect on the Nrf2 was not pronounced, it showed a higher concentration when GFAP decreased. Our results suggest a protective effect of Ketorolac and (-) - Epicatechin, which seem to limit the preclinical retinal damage caused by inflammation in hyperglycemia.
