While PNS reduced both retinal microglial activation and systemic inflammatory cytokines, the mechanisms distinguishing local retinal versus systemic anti-inflammatory effects remain unclear. This distinction is critical for understanding whether PNS acts primarily through neuroprotection or vascular protection in DR.
