Figure 2. Only the highest dose of
the receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) inhibitor
significantly inhibited the diabetes-induced increase in retinal
intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Diabetics
were treated with 0, 10, 100, or 300 μg/day of the
RAGE-Immunoglobulin fusion protein. Only the highest dose of
inhibitor significantly inhibited retinal ICAM-1 expression
below that seen in control diabetics. The duration of diabetes
and drug administration was 2 months. n=6–10 in all groups.
