Runx2 is more expressed in diabetic than in non-diabetic patients. Representative valve tissue sections of a non-diabetic and a diabetic patient (×400 magnification) (2A; n = 45 (17 – 28)). ALP is more expressed in diabetic than in non-diabetic patients. Representative valve tissue sections of a non-diabetic and a diabetic patient (×200 magnification) (2B; n = 45 (17 – 28)). Annexin II is more expressed in diabetic than in non-diabetic tissue sections that are strongly calcified (n = 34 (12 – 22)). Representative valve tissue sections of a non-diabetic and a diabetic patient (×40 magnification) (2C). Annexin V is more expressed in non-diabetic than in diabetic tissue sections that are strongly calcified (n = 34 (12 – 22)). Representative valve tissue sections of a non-diabetic and a diabetic patient (×400 magnification) (2D).
