The Diminished Expression of Proangiogenic Growth Factors and Their Receptors in Gastric Ulcers of Cirrhotic Patients
Figure 2
Significant elevation of the mRNA expressions of PDGFB, VEGFR2, FGFR1, and FGFR2 in the ulcer margin was noted compared to the non-ulcer areas (p<0.05) in the non-cirrhotic group, but not in the cirrhotic group.
