Fig. 5: Baseline measurements of oxidative stress in plasma.
From: Molecular phenotyping of oxidative stress in diabetes mellitus with point-of-care NMR system
a The T1–T2 relaxometry coordinates of plasma baseline taken from healthy non-DM subjects (blue, n = 24), subjects with good glycaemic control (green, n = 55) and subjects with poor glycaemic control (red, n = 40). b The corresponding A-ratio against the subjects with poor glycaemic control and good glycaemic control subgroups, as compared to healthy non-DM subjects. The subjects with poor glycaemic controls were further subdivided into >8% HbA1c (n = 15) and >10% HbA1c (n = 25) subgroups. The statistical significance was calculated using the Student’s T-test (two-tailed, unequal variance). The data is represented by box-plot format. The diagnostic accuracy of RBCs (blue) and plasma (red) taken from non-DM subjects and DM subjects, where their glycaemic subgroups were c good glycaemic control and d poor glycaemic control subgroups. The number of subjects (n) is indicated in parentheses.
