Abstract
Domestic pigs were fed with high lipid diet (HLD) for 24 weeks. Electroretinographic studies and the measurement of the diameter of retinal arterioles were investigated before and after the administration of HLD. The most significant change produced by HLD was negativization of electroretinogram. At the same time the diameter of retinal arterioles was significantly decreased.
