Plasma levels of (a) tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐α); (b) epidermal growth factor (EGF); and (c) fibroblast growth fator‐2 (FGF‐2). The concentration of cytokines in plasma was measured using the Milliplex FlexMap 3D method. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, vs healthy volunteers (H); $P < 0.05 vs type 2 diabetes group (T2DM); #P < 0.05 vs type 2 diabetes patients with non‐infected ulceration (DFU). Results are shown as box and whisker charts displaying minimum, maximum, median, upper and lower quartiles. CHPON, Charcot peripheral osteoneuropathy; DFU‐H, type 2 diabetes patients with healed ulceration; DFU‐I, type 2 diabetes patients with infected ulceration.
