In this study the prevalence of positivity for microalbuminuria in the urinary test was high, from 61 to 49.7%, and we managed to show a decreasing trend in the levels of microalbuminuria observed during the 48-weeks of observation, probably because of the criterion used for the diagnosis of microalbuminuria that allows to highlight even early alterations.

However, because the number of new ODs on the market grew steadily in the study period, the percentage of ODs that experienced a shortage had a decreasing trend since the maximum of 5.3 % in 2011.

The values of the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II ( F v / F m ), the effective photochemical quantum yield of PSII (ΦPSII), and the photochemical quenching ( qP ) showed a decreasing trend related to NaCl concentration and treatment duration (Fig. 1A–C ).
