2. Expression of basement membrane proteins, as well as other selected proteins (as indicated on y axis), in patients without (non-DM; open columns) and with (T2DM) type 2 diabetes mellitus (black columns).
Expression of basement membrane proteins, as well as other selected proteins (as indicated on y axis), in patients without (non-DM; open columns) and with (T2DM) type 2 diabetes mellitus (black columns). Moreover, results from patients with diabetes mellitus, treated without (T2DM−M) or with metformin (T2DM+M) are displayed. Results are shown as mean±SEM and P values for t tests are displayed for comparisons either of non-DM vs T2DM or T2DM–M vs T2DM+M, as indicated.

4. Immunohistochemical stainings of internal mammary arteries from patient without (A and D) and with type 2 diabetes mellitus (B, C, E, and F) treated without metformin (B and E) or with metformin (C and F), stained for collagen type IV (A–C) and laminin (D–F).
