Mechanisms of PEDF-mediated protection against reactive oxygen species damage in diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy
Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is a pluripotent glycoprotein belonging to the serpin family. PEDF can stimulate several physiological processes such as angiogenesis, cell proliferation and survival. Oxidative stress plays an important role in the occurrence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) whi...
