Purpose: To assess vitreous levels of inflammatory cytokines and neurotrophins (NTs) in
diabetic retinopathy (DR) and elucidate their potential roles. Methods: A prospective study …

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is widely recognized as a neurovascular disease. Retina, being a
neuronal tissue of the eye, produces neurotrophic factors for its maintenance. However …

In this study, we compare the vitreous cytokine profile in patients with proliferative diabetic
retinopathy (PDR) to that of patients without PDR. The identification of novel cytokines …

Purpose: To assess and correlate the levels of inflammatory mediators in the eyes from non‐
diabetic and diabetic subjects without retinopathy (NDR), with non‐proliferative diabetic …

To determine whether inflammatory cytokines are increased in proliferative diabetic
retinopathy. We measured concentrations of interleukin-6, 8 (IL-6, 8) and tumor necrosis …

Aim There are changes in blood flow during the clinical stages of diabetic retinopathy with
increasing leukostasis and secondary elaboration of cytokines. This study evaluated the …

Purpose To investigate the role of inflammatory and angiogenic factors in the pathogenesis
of diabetic retinopathy, we determined, in diabetic patients and controls, vitreous and serum …

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the roles of plasma cytokines in diabetic
retinopathy (DR) and their relationship with the severity of DR. Methods This study included …

Purpose.: To identify inflammatory cytokines significantly elevated and independent of VEGF
levels in the vitreous of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients that may serve as …

Evaluation of cytokines in patients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) is important for the
identification of future additive or alternative treatment options. Therefore, vitreous samples …
