Interferon-induced protein (IP)-10, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1α, macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-1β, RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T-expressed and secreted) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels in the vitreous of diabetics and control samples given in picograms per milliliter. The single asterisk (*) indicates significant after Bonferroni correction p<0.006 (α=0.05) and the double asterisk (**) indicates, that the factor was below the detection limit. SD means standard deviation.
