The Role of Dyslipidemia on Ocular Surface, Lacrimal and Meibomian Gland Structure and Function

Abstract

DES development is not solely dependent on dyslipidemia in relevant mice models promoting this condition. On the other hand, lacrimal gland structure and function are differentially impacted by lipid profile changes in male and female mice. This dissociation suggests that other factors beside dyslipidemia impact on tear film dysfunction and DES development.
