Table 2. The implicit times of ERG components in all main groups.
The implicit times of “a” and “oscillatory potential” waves were significantly prolonged in the Diabetic group at 3rd month of induction of diabetes. Diabetic+sham or Diabetic+ BMSC groups did not have significantly different values compared to diabetic group. On the other hand Healthy+Sham and Healthy+BMSC groups did not have significantly different values compared to the Baseline group.

*, significantly different compared to the Diabetic group at 3rd month (Mann Whitney U test).
Please note that the Diabetic group and Healthy groups are compared to the Baseline group. Diabetic+BMSC and Diabetic+Sham groups are compared to the Diabetic group at 3rd month.
