Vascular reactivity of the brachial artery (as measured by flow-mediated dilation and nitroglycerin-induced dilation) and common carotid artery intima-media thickness measurements of individuals in the control, type 1 diabetes (T1 DM), and type 2 diabetes (T2 DM) groups
Control | T1 DM | T2 DM | |
---|---|---|---|
Flow-mediated dilation (% change from baseline)a | 6.86 ± 3.42 | 5.56 ± 2.187 | 5.28 ± 2.62 |
Nitroglycerin-induced dilation (% change from baseline)b | 16.61 ± 5.64 | 12.35 ± 3.32 | 13.50 ± 5.95 |
Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (mm)c | 0.73 ± 0.09 | N/A | 0.80 ± 0.12 |
p = 0.002, control vs T1 DM and T2 DM
p = 0.001, control vs T1 DM and T2 DM
p = 0.006.
