Figure 1. NTF2 expression was significantly lower in patients with PDR. Expression of NTF2 mRNA as determined by real-time PCR in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy
(PDR, group P), DM without PDR (group N) and healthy volunteers (group NO). Asterisk indicates significance between groups
