1. Supplementation with vitamins C+E significantly inhibited acellular capillaries in diabetic rats and tended to inhibit formation of pericyte ghosts but had no effect on any lesions in experimentally galactosemic rats.
Supplementation with vitamins C+E significantly inhibited acellular capillaries in diabetic rats and tended to inhibit formation of pericyte ghosts but had no effect on any lesions in experimentally galactosemic rats. Each bar represents mean ± SD of 7–10 rats. *P < 0.05 vs. normal controls; **P < 0.05 vs. respective untreated diabetic rats or untreated galactose-fed rats.
