Treatment with deltalicin (daily dose of 0.0003 g of delta sleep-inducing peptide intranasally for two months) decreased the latent period and led to less pronounced depression of VEP amplitude in patients with diabetic retinopathy, and reduced the period of restoration of VEP characteristics to 95.1 ± 6.8 s.

The characteristics of visual evoked potential (VEP) have been investigated in a group of 15 healthy volunteers (aged 31.7 ± 3.6 years) and 30 insulin-dependent patients (aged 32.1 ± 4.0 years) with diabetes mellitus, among which 15 patients suffered from diabetic retinopathy and 15 patients had no retinopathy.
