Imbalance of the Nerve Growth Factor and Its Precursor as a Potential Biomarker for Diabetic Retinopathy

Figure 7

Expression of p receptor is consistent in vitreous and serum. Results are shown for p expression in vitreous and serum of diabetic (DB) and control participants normalized to Ponceau S and respective controls. Full length p receptor (75 kD) was not significantly different in diabetic sample compared to control groups in either (a) vitreous () or (b) serum (). The p ectodomain (50 kD) was also not significantly different in diabetic compared to control groups in (c) vitreous () or (d) serum ().
