Abstract

Increased levels of IFN-γ and TNF-α in the vitreous were found in patients with diabetes compared to nondiabetic patients. Decreased levels of adiponectin in the vitreous were found in patients with diabetes compared to nondiabetic patients. The data support the hypothesis that inflammation is associated with diabetic retinopathy.
