Table 2
The group averaged values of choroidal circulation and foveal thickness in each group
| Control | NDR | NPDR/MO− | NPDR/MO+ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MABP = mean arterial blood pressure; IOP = intraocular pressure; HR = heart rate; FBS = fasting blood sugar. | ||||
| Values are expressed as means (SD). | ||||
| *p<0.05 and †p<0.01 compared with control. | ||||
| p<0.05 and p<0.01 compared with the NPDR/MO− group. | ||||
| CBVel indicates choroidal blood velocity; CBVol choroidal blood volume; and CBF choroidal blood flow. | ||||
| CBVel (Hz) | 353.8 (80.6) | 323.4 (81.4)* | 298.8 (67.8)* | 279.1 (90.4)† |
| CBVol (au) | 0.63 (0.21) | 0.58 (0.30) | 0.63 (0.33) | 0.50 (0.32)* |
| CBF (au) | 13.5 (4.9) | 9.4 (2.5)† | 10.8 (4.8)* | 5.6 (2.0)† |
| foveal thickness (μm) | 173.2 (28.2) | 180.1 (29.9) | 188.3 (34.8) | 275.4 (107.5)† |
