Validation of key gene expression in an STZ-induced diabetic mouse model.
(A) Body weight changes in normal control (NC) and diabetic (DM) mice over 8 weeks post-STZ injection. (B) Representative Western blot images of PLAU, PLAUR, VGF, and GAPDH in retinal tissues from NC and DM mice. (C) Quantification of protein expression levels normalized to GAPDH. Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 compared to NC group.
