Effects of FXT on retinal vessel caliber in STZ diabetic rats (𝑥±SD).

Group	Rats; (𝑁)	Retinal arteriole caliber; (𝜇m)	Retinal venular caliber; (𝜇m)	Arteriolar-venular ratio; (AVR)
Control	9	43.83±0.56	75.46±2.65	0.58±0.02
STZ	18	42.45±1.04	88.90±2.07 *	0.48±0.08 *
STZ + FXT 1.05 g/kg	9	42.11±1.65	79.92±2.87^#	0.53±0.05^#
STZ + FXT 0.525 g/kg	10	43.06±0.96	80.24±2.44^#	0.54±0.07^#

The values are means ± SD. *𝑃<0.05 versus control rats; ^#𝑃<0.05 versus STZ rats.
