Available arginine under euglycemic and hyperglycemic conditions (A) and the change
in available arginine between the euglycemic and hyperglycemic conditions (B) in 6
recent-onset KPD patients and 6 age-, gender-, and BMI-matched control participants.
Values are means ± SEMs. (A) Means were compared by repeated-measures 2-factor
ANOVA. Significant interaction between group and glycemic state
(P < 0.05), significant main effect of glycemic state and group
(P < 0.05). Post hoc comparisons: asignificantly
different from control group in corresponding clinical condition,
P < 0.05 (post hoc Sidak multiple comparison test);
bsignificantly different from corresponding group in euglycemic
condition, P < 0.05 (post hoc Sidak multiple comparison test);
csignificantly different from control group,
P < 0.05 (t test). KPD, ketosis-prone diabetes;
LBM, lean body mass.
