(a) Collagen I (Col I), (b) collagen III (Col III), and (c) collagen V (Col V) protein levels in conditioned media of HCF, T1DM, and T2DM on days 3 and 9. Col I expression significantly decreased on day 3 but not at day 9 compared to the HCFs. T1DM and T2DM show significant increases in Col V expression, followed by significant decreases of secretion at day 9. Welch’s unpaired -test and/or ordinary one-way ANOVA () was used to analyze the results. Error bars represent standard deviation ( denotes , denotes , denotes , and denotes ).
