Abstract
Young onset type 2 diabetes patients (T2DM-Y) have been shown to possess an increased
risk of developing microvascular complications particularly diabetic retinopathy.
However, the molecular mechanisms are not clearly understood. In this study, we investigated
the serum levels of monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) and cathepsin-D in patients
with T2DM-Y without and with diabetic retinopathy.
