Increased Circulating Betatrophin Concentrations in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Figure 1

Correlation between betatrophin and age in nondiabetic controls (a) and HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes (b) and in all study participants (c). (a) Positive correlation between betatrophin and age in nondiabetic controls (𝑛=18, cc = 0.57, and 𝑃=0.01). (b) Positive correlation between betatrophin and HbA1c for patients with type 2 diabetes (𝑛=27, cc = 0.48, and 𝑃=0.01). (c) Positive correlation between betatrophin and HbA1c in all study participants (𝑛=45, cc = 0.495, and 𝑃=0.0005). cc: correlation coefficient, also known as 𝑟. Line; best fit with 95% confidence intervals.
