Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Ischemic Stroke: Decreased Insulin Sensitivity and Decreases in Antioxidant Enzyme Activity Are Related to Different Stroke Subtypes

Figure 1

Values are expressed as mean ± SE. Bar graphs show the values of insulin sensitivity index (Si) determined by minimal model analysis. Si levels were significantly lower in type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients with different subtypes of ischemic stroke: atherothrombotic infarction (ATI) and lacunar infarction (LI) compared to T2D patients without ischemic stroke, and the same relationship is found in the respective groups in nondiabetics ( ) (ANOVA test).
