Oxidative stress and total antioxidant status of plasma increases in early type 2 diabetes patients. Plasma from type 2 diabetes patients at first clinical onset and from non-diabetes age-matched subjects was evaluated for Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) (A) and malondialdehyde–thiobarbituric acid (MDA–TBA) adducts (B). Values are mean ± SE. *P < 0.01, #P < 0.001 vs. controls (analysis of variance Kruskal–Wallis test).
