Fig 1. T1DM is characterized by systemic endotoxemia with significantly decreased levels of LBP and EndoCAb.

Fig 1

Serum levels of LPS (a), LBP (b), sCD14 (c) and EndoCAb (d) were determined in NGT (n = 64), T1DM without MVC (n = 97) and T1DM subjects with MVC (n = 36) by immune-assays. Each dot represents individual values with the horizontal line representing the geo mean. 36 T1DM subjects without MVC and 26 with MVC had undetectable levels of EndoCAb. Significance was calculated by non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test and p<0.05 was considered significant. The indicated p values are for pair-wise comparisons.
