Figure 1

Levels of MGP, YKL-40 and hsCRP were significantly different between the groups (ANOVA, *0.0001 < p < 0,01 for all comparisons) (-T2D/-IHD N = 20; +T2D/-IHD N = 45; -T2D/+IHD N = 37; +T2D/+IHD N = 20). MGP levels were significantly higher in patients with both T2D and IHD when compared to the other groups (+p < 0.001 for all comparisons), and in IHD patients when compared to patients with T2D and controls (#p ≤ 0.007). Levels of YKL-40 were significantly higher in patients with T2D and in patients with IHD when compared to the control subjects (p < 0.03). Levels of hsCRP were significantly higher in patients with T2D with and without IHD when compared to the control group (+p ≤ 0.001 for all).
