ICAM-1 (A), VEGF (B), TNF-α (C), and iNOS (D) mRNA levels in retina of Ren-2 rats after 4 weeks of diabetes. Retinal ICAM-1, VEGF, TNF-α, and iNOS mRNA levels are increased in diabetic Ren-2 rats compared with nondiabetic control. In diabetic Ren-2 rats, Cand reduced both retinal ICAM-1 (A) and VEGF mRNA (B) to the level of nondiabetic controls, with TNF-α (C) and iNOS mRNA (D) decreasing to below control levels. For panels A, B, and D, data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni post hoc tests. *P < 0.05 versus nondiabetic control. †P < 0.05 versus diabetic control. For panel C, data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis tests followed by Mann-Whitney U tests. *P < 0.02 versus nondiabetic control. †P < 0.0001 versus diabetic control. N = 8–13 animals/group. Values are mean ± SEM.
