Analysis of the relative transcription levels of plasma miRNAs using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney -test. The expression of miR-155-5p (a), miR-150-5p (b), miR-30e (c), miR-3196 (d), miR-320e (e), and let-7a-5p (f) was determined by quantitative real-time PCR. and indicate statistical significance and highly statistical significance, respectively. Mic: diabetes mellitus with microalbuminuria (); DM: diabetes mellitus with normoalbuminuria (); NC: normal controls (). The error bars are presented as standard error of the mean (SEM).
