Values of treatment were compared to that of normal control * p value <0.05, ** p value<0.01. Values of treatment were compared to that of paired control # p value <0.05, ## p value<0.01. PC=paired control. Abbreviations: T represents treatment, CON represents normal control group, DM1 represents diabetes 1 month, DM3 represents diabetes 3 months, DM6 represents diabetes 6 months, VEGF represents vascular endothelial growth factor, PEDF represents pigment epithelium-derived factor, VEGFp represents VEGFprotein, PEDFp represents PEDF protein 1.
