A0: baseline levels of different parameters of Group A; A5: levels of different parameters of Group A after 5 years; B0: baseline levels of different parameters of Group B; B5: levels of different parameters of Group B after 5 years; PBMC ROS: peripheral blood mononuclear cell reactive oxygen species; MDA: malondialdehyde; SOD: superoxide dismutase; GR: glutathione reductase; GSH: reduced glutathione; AGE: advanced glycation end products; VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor. Two sets of paired observations were compared by paired -test; value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. |
