Table 2. VCAM-1 expression in the 3 groups.

Group	Percentage area (%)	Intensity (index)
I	5.68±0.9	33.81±2.4
II	10.12±1.8^a)	43.79±1.8^a)
II	5.77±1.3^b)	43.95±4.2^a)

Rats were segregated into three groups labeled as I control group, II diabetes mellitus group and III diabetes mellitus+alpha-lipoic acid group. Expression of abdominal aortic adhesion molecule was assessed by calculation with Adobe Photoshop CS3 for percentage of area and intensity. Values are presented as mean±SD. VACM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. ^a)P<0.05 vs. I. ^b)P<0.05 vs. II.
