Fig. 2

Blood levels of metabolite PC ae C32:2 in subjects grouped by serum Hp levels. Hp haptoglobin, T2DM type 2 diabetes mellitus, Non-DM non-diabetes mellitus. Dot plot a shows the association of blood metabolite PC ae C32:2 with serum Hp tertiles in T2DM patients, P = 0.0005, β ± SE = − 0.028 ± 0.008. Dot plot b shows the association of blood metabolite PC ae C32:2 with serum Hp tertiles in non-DM patients, P = 0.0390, β ± SE = − 0.026 ± 0.012. P values and beta values were determined by multiple linear regression adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, inter-adventitial diameter and/or carotid intima-media thickness. The PC ae C32:2 levels are shown in dot plots; the median is indicated by the middle black solid line. The lower and upper quartiles are shown by the bottom and top black solid lines, respectively
