AIM: To investigate retinal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) level and retinal cells apoptosis in the early stage of diabetic NOD mouse retina.METHODS: Animals were divided into non-diabetes group, (control) (2-, 4-, 6-, 8- and 12-week sub-groups, n=30) and diabetes group (2-, 4, 6-, 8- and 12-week sub-groups, n = 30). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect VEGF level in both serum and retina. Transmission electron microscope method was used to examine retinal cell apoptosis.RESULTS: Compared with the control group, VEGF levels in serum and retina were increased significantly in the NOD group (12 weeks: 4.9 +/- 0.41 mu g/g vs 0.19 +/- 0.1 mu g/g in serum sample, P
