VEGF, HIF-1α and PEDF expression in the retina of streptozotocin-induced diabetics rats treated with ozone
AIM:To study vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), pigment epithelium derived factor(PEDF)and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)expression in retinal and serum in ozone-treated streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats and to determine the possible efficacy of ozone therapy for diabetic retinop...
