Effects of FXT on the number of retinal pericyte and acellular capillaries in STZ diabetic rats (𝑥±SD).

Group	Rats; (𝑁)	Pericyte numbers/mm^2	The number of acellular capillaries/mm^2
Control	18	762.2±62.2	0
STZ	36	572.2±117.4 *	15.5±6.45
STZ + FXT 1.05 g/kg	18	654.4±140.8	10.2±2.82^#
STZ + FXT 0.525 g/kg	20	607.8±97.9	11.4±3.71^#

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