Glycation parameters: fructosamine, glycated albumin (GA); oxidation parameters: ischemia-modified albumin (IMA), thiols; glycoxidation parameters: advanced glycation end-products (AGE), fluorescent advanced glycation end-products (Fluo-AGE). The panel includes diabetic patients with and without vascular disease (). Univariate correlation coefficients and significance between different biochemical parameter values compared by peer were calculated according to Pearson’s method: .
