The result presented as geometric mean and 95% confidence interval of mean adjusted for age, gender and race, avs control group: bvs non-diabetic metabolic syndrome group: cvs type 2 diabetes without metabolic syndrome which evaluated by univariate (General Linear Model). Bolt values are significant. MetS: metabolic syndrome.
