Figure 3
Comparison of four potential biomarkers concentrations in healthy subjects (normal), type 2 diabetes patients without retinopathy (DM), and type 2 diabetes patients with retinopathy (DR). Compared to the group of normal and DM, DR subjects had significantly higher mean plasma concentrations of inosine (, ), adenosine (, ), uric acid (, ), and xanthine (, ). The group of DM had significantly higher mean plasma concentrations of uric acid () compared to the normal group.
