  1. Results are presented as media ± SEM. Independent samples T-test and Mann–Whitney test for normalized and non-normalized samples, respectively. P adjusted for age and BMI (ANCOVA) when adequate (when p<0.05): for age when comparing pre vs postmenopausal women (both in control and diabetic subjects); for BMI when comparing postmenopausal diabetic women vs postmenopausal control subjects. BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; LDL-c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; Ox-LDL, oxidized low-density lipoprotein; TGs, triglycerides; Total-c, total cholesterol; WC, waist circumference.
