On isolated retinal preparation from STZ-induced diabetic rats in whole-cell configuration the basic electrical properties of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) were studied. It was shown that on 8th week after STZ maximal depolarization-induced firing frequency is reduced and decay time constant of high-frequency stimulation-induced calcium signals is increased as compared to controls. The data obtained suggest functional changes in RGC of STZ-induced diabetic rats, possible mechanisms of such changes are discussed.
