Figure 2From: Copy number variation at leptin receptor gene locus associated with metabolic traits and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitusTotal cholesterol and fasting glucose levels for individuals with low or high copy numbers of the E2 DNA sequence. Non-T2DM subjects were divided into different age groups (40 s, 50 s, and 60s) and their metabolic phenotypes were compared. (A) Total cholesterol levels. ***: P = 2.13 × 10-6, **: P = 4.33 × 10-3, *: P < 0.05. (B) Fasting glucose levels. ***: P = 1.72 × 10-6, **: P = 8.39 × 10-4, *: P < 0.03.Back to article page
