Table III.
Descriptive statistics for the levels of plasma concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in the control group. Value of p represents the significance level of the ANOVA Friedman test for comparison of these characteristics in different OGTT time intervals for 8 individuals
