Characterization of Blood Oxidative Stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients: Increase in Lipid Peroxidation and SOD Activity

Figure 5

Correlation coefficients (Spearman’s correlation) and linear regression in DM2 patients among fasting glucose, HbA1c, and LPO (TBARS). (a) TBARS versus fasting glucose in the DM2LPO group; (b) TBARS versus fasting glucose in DM2 patients, when considering values above 5.6 mmol·L⁻¹ and (c) below 5.6 mmol·L⁻¹; (d) TBARS versus HbA1c in the DM2LPO group; (e) TBARS versus HbA1c in DM2 patients, according to the cutoff point above 6.5% and (f) below 6.5%; (g) TBARS versus HOMA-IR in the DM2LPO group; (h) TBARS versus insulinemia in the DM2LPO group. Values were considered statistically significant when 𝑃<0.05.
