ABSTRACT
Expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B mRNA was measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR in renal cortex of diabetic and control Wistar rats. The expression of PDGF-B mRNA in renal cortex of diabetic rats was 2.5-fold of normal rats, suggesting that PDGF-B seems to play a role in diabetic nephro-pathy.
