Figure 2

Box plots showing PAI-1 antigen plasma levels between diabetic subjects plus the Metabolic Syndrome (a) and the reference group (b), according to genotype distribution of -675 4G/5G polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene. (a) = 4G/4G versus 5G/5G, ; 4G/4G versus 4G/5G, ; 4G/5G versus 5G/5G, , (b) = 4G/4G versus 5G/5G, ; 4G/4G versus 4G/5G, ; 4G/5G versus 5G/5G, ; + = mean; value; PAI-1 = plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1.
