Clinical characteristics of the subjects.

	DR ()	Non-DR ()	value
Age (y)			0.095
Male/female	30/22	33/19	0.552
Duration of DM (years)		N/A	N/A
Duration of DR (months)		N/A	N/A
SBP (mmHg)			0.783
DBP (mmHg)			0.523
FBG (mmol/l)			<0.001
HbA1c (%)			<0.001
sCr (μmol/l)			<0.001
BUN (mmol/l)			<0.001
eGFR (ml/min/1.73 m^2)			<0.001

Abbreviation: DM: diabetes mellitus; DR: diabetic retinopathy; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; FBG: fasting blood glucose; HbA1c: glycated hemoglobin; sCr: serum creatinine; BUN: blood urea nitrogen; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; UACR: urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Duration of DM and DR were unavailable in the control group (). value of <0.001 by independent, two-tailed Student’s -tests was considered statistically significant. One-way ANOVA was used for evaluating the differences in sex.
