Figure 1.

(A) Protein patterns of the patients with diabetes and control subjects examined in this study. Shown are compiled patterns consisting of all samples from each of the four groups. The molecular mass (0.7 to 25 kD, on a logarithmic scale) is plotted against normalized migration time (17 to 47 min). Signal intensity is encoded by peak height and color. (B) Distribution of potential differential-diagnostic biomarkers for diabetes in the patients with normoalbuminuria and healthy control subjects. All statistically significant biomarkers from Supplemental Table 1 are shown. (C) Distribution of potential differential-diagnostic biomarkers for diabetic nephropathy in the different groups of patients and healthy control subjects. Shown are all statistically significant biomarkers listed in Supplemental Table 2.
