Serum CTGF protein levels were detected in different groups by ELISA. CTGF protein levels in the DN group (median, 187.55 mg/l; interquartile range, 137.33–254.08 mg/l) were significantly higher than those in the NDM group (median, 98.40 mg/l; interquartile range, 79.55–107.40 mg/l) and the NDN group (median, 124.0 mg/l; interquartile range, 105.10–142.15 mg/l). *P<0.05 versus NDM group; #P<0.05 versus NDN group. CTGF, connective tissue growth factor; NDM, non-diabetes control; NDN, diabetes without nephropathy; DN, diabetes with nephropathy.
