Fig. 5From: The Hippo signaling pathway: a potential therapeutic target is reversed by a Chinese patent drug in rats with diabetic retinopathyThe effect of XST on gene and expression levels of VEGF. a The gene level of VEGF was determined by PCR. XST lead to a reduction of VEGF gene level. b–c The protein level of VEGF was evaluated by WB. XST displayed a decrease of VEGF protein level. Data were represented as mean ± S.D.
