TNF inhibition reduces acellular capillary in both type 1 and type 2 diabetic animals. a: PAS-hematoxylin-stained RTDs from a diabetic retina. Arrows point to an acellular capillary. The bar represents 20 μm at original magnification, ×400. b: The mean number of acellular capillaries was determined in normoglycemic control rats (C), streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats (DM) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats treated with pegsunercept (DM + Peg). Data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 6). c: The mean number of acellular capillaries was determined in normoglycemic control rats (C), ZDF diabetic rats (DM), and ZDF diabetic rats treated with pegsunercept (DM + Peg). Data represent the mean ± SEM (n = 6). *Statistically significant compared to control (P < 0.05). **Statistically significant compared to diabetic (P < 0.05).
