Diabetes induced a significant increase in the number of ICAM‐1+ blood vessels/cm2 (controls: 52.6 ± 30.7; DM group: 86.6 ± 21.8, p = .02) (Figure 4C) and the percentage of ICAM‐1+ glomeruli (controls: 33.7 ± 25.6; DM group: 64.6 ± 16.4, p = .02) (Figure 4D). The gene discussed is ICAM1; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
