SomaScan was used to quantify plasma proteins and a Student’s t-test was used to examine differences between euglycemic and diabetic individuals. Cohen effect size is indicated. Pearson’s correlation (r) and p-value are indicated for the relationships between plasma proteins and pGSN. Proteins significantly correlated with pGSN are indicated in bold. Values are sorted by correlation with high positive values at top

Multiple markers can match to the same target protein and are uniquely identified by sequence numbers. 1. SomaScan seq. 21768.9; . 2. SomaScan seq. 21813.171; 3. SomaScan seq. 10025.1 ; 4. SomaScan seq. 15527.90
