Critical alpha = 0.05. FPG = fasting plasma glucose; BMI = body mass index; VEGF = vascular endothelial growth factor; CTRL = Control (random) migration. Pearson correlations were conducted for all associations except those involving CD34/KDR and CD133/KDR, for which Spearman correlations were conducted to accommodate their skewed distributions. N=28for all correlations except those involving CD34/KDR and CD133/KDR, for which n=27.
