Similar to the microvascular systems of retina and kidney the choroid plexus can be a vulnerable target organ for hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia alters the electrolyte composition of CSF which probably reflects the microvascular alteration of choroids plexus. In the present study we examined the effects of maternal hyperglycemia on the vascular structure of ...
