Figure 3

The alterations of glycopatterns between DN and NDRD. (a) Hierarchical clustering analysis of the 19 lectins with three biological replicates. DN groups and NDRD were listed in columns, and the lectins were listed in rows. (b) Ten lectins revealed significant differences between DN and NDRD. Significant differences between groups were analyzed according to Student’s -test, respectively (, , and ). The data were the averaged NFI ± SD of three biological replicates.
