Abstract
Gambogic acid (GA) is one of active components of Chinese medicine gamboges resin. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a most serious microvascular complication of diabetes and also the leading cause of blindness. The aim of this study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of GA on diabetes-induced retinal angiogenesis and further explore the potential mechanisms.High glucose (HG)-treated RF/6A cells and STZ-induced diabetic mice were used as in vitro...
