Characterization of Blood Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: Increase in Lipid Peroxidation and SOD Activity
Figure 4
Lipid peroxidation, TBARS, fasting glucose, and HbA1c according to the studied groups. (a) TBARS concentration in DM2, pre-DM, and controls, *versus pre-DM groups and C; (b) TBARS concentration in stratified groups, *versus pre-DM, C(+)SAH, and C(−)SAH; (c) individual assessment for LPO in the stratified groups; (d) TBARS concentration according to the cutoff points in DM2 patients, *DM2LPO versus DM2(−)LPO, pre-DM, C(+)SAH, and C(−)SAH; (e) fasting glucose, *DM2LPO versus DM2(−)LPO, pre-DM, C(+)SAH, and C(−)SAH; (f) HbA1c *DM2LPO versus DM2(−)LPO, pre-DM, C(+)SAH, and C(−)SAH. Values are presented as mean ± SEM. ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. *.
