Figure 2

Correlation of serum arylesterase activity with pro-BNP, NYHA functional classes and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with heart failure. Pro-BNP (a) and LVEF (c) were logarithmically transformed before plotting. Open dots and dashed line, non-diabetic subjects (n = 137); closed dots and solid line, patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 79). (b) Shown is arylesterase activity in non-diabetic (open box) and diabetic (box with diagonal lines) patients grouped by different NYHA functional classes. **p < 0.01 vs. non-diabetic patients with NYHA II functional class; ##p < 0.01 vs. diabetic patients with NYHA II functional class; $$p < 0.01 vs. non-diabetic patients with the same NYHA functional class.
