Those enrolled will represent a range of diabetic retinopathy from minimal to severe. Participants will undergo the following procedures:\n\n* medical history\n* thorough eye examination\n* photographs of the eye\n* blood tests to measure blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and serum creatinine (for kidney function)\n* blood tests to measure levels of blood factors (cell adhesion molecules, chemokines and vascular endothelial growth factor) that may be related to the progression of diabetic retinopathy\n* blood pressure measurement\n* urinalysis\n\nThis study may lead to a better understanding of how diabetic retinopathy develops and progresses.', 'detailedDescription': 'Participants with a range of severity of diabetic retinopathy and healthy volunteers will be evaluated once for serum levels of cell adhesion molecules, chemokines and vascular endothelial growth factor. This study may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy and the identifying of possible targets for treatment.
