Plasma C1q/TNF-Related Protein-3 (CTRP-3) and High-Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB-1) Concentrations in Subjects with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes

Figure 1

Plasma CTRP-3 (a) and HMGB-1 (b) concentrations in different subgroups and in males and females ((c) and (d)). Data were presented as means ± standard deviation. Differences between multiple groups were tested by analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables. for trend was estimated by a linear-by-linear association of the chi-square test. compared with NGT, compared with pre-DM. CTRP-3, C1q/TNF-related protein-3; HMGB-1, high-mobility group box-1; NGT, normal glucose tolerance; pre-DM, prediabetes states (including IFG, impaired fasting glucose; IGT, impaired glucose tolerance; IGR, impaired glucose regulation); T2DM, type 2 diabetes.
