INTRODUCTIONThe eye is a unique organ that provides non-invasive access to microcirculation. Retinal vascular parameters observed in fundus photography have been identified as biomarkers for predicting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Narrowing of arterioles, for instance, has demonstrated prognostic value in the development of hypertension, as shown in studies such as the Rotterdam Study and the Blue Mountains Eye Study.

Non-insulin-dependent spontaneous type 2 diabetes rats (Goto-Kakizaki Rats, GK rats), which were developed into diabetes cardiomyopathy [18, 19], were used as the animal models in this work. The male GK rats (14 weeks old and weighing of 200–250 g) with average blood glucose levels above 11.1 mmol/L were provided by Carvens Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. (Changzhou, China). All the rats were fed with high-fat diet and performed with echocardiographic cardiac function measurements every two weeks.

Compared to injection administration, oral administration is free of discomfort, wound infection and complications and has a higher compliance rate for patients with diverse diseases. However, oral administration reduces the bioavailability of medicines, especially biologics (e.g., peptides, proteins, and antibodies), due to harsh gastrointestinal biological barriers.
