Osteoprotegerin is a new regulator of inflammation and angiogenesis in proliferative diabetic retinopathy [PDF]

Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science, 2003
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a novel regulator of endothelial cell function, angiogenesis, and vasculogenesis. We correlated expression levels of OPG with those of the angiogenic and inflammatory factors vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and monocyte
