87-OR: Vitreous Retinol Binding Protein 3 Is Increased in Patients without Advanced Diabetic Retinopathy in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: Retinol Binding Protein 3 (RBP3), a retinol transport protein secreted mainly by photoreceptors, may inhibit progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) by decreasing glucose uptake and inflammation in the retina. In people with type 1 diabetes with duration of ≥50yrs (Joslin Medalist Study), >40% of Medalists exhibited no to mild non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and increased expression of RBP3 compared to those with severe DR. We examined 213 vitreous samples from a larger population of Meda… Show more
