- Protection against sucrose-induced retinal capillary damage in the Wistar rat.
"Little or no retinal vascular damage was apparent in rats fed the high sucrose diet supplemented with chromium, selenium
and additional corn oil. Of the two elements, only supplementation with Se protected the retinal capillaries from damage."
