Plots showing the median (line within box), 25th and 75th percentiles (box), 5th and 95th percentiles (whiskers), and outliers (•) of HS (a), total UTI (UTI plus SM-LSC and LSC) (b), and CS (c) percentages in the controls group and in T2DM patients. Percentages were evaluated by performing image analysis on cellulose acetate electrophoretic profiles using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Differences with values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.
