Figure Lengend Snippet: Change patterns of SPARC levels during OGTT at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. (a–c) Plasma SPARC levels are increased after 1-h and 2-h stimulation of oral glucose intake in the three groups at baseline (a), while showing increasing trends at 3 months (b) and 6 months (c). Comparations were calculated by repeated-measures ANOVA, adjusting for sex, baseline age, baseline BMI, total energy intake, physical activity, smoking, and drinking. Post hoc pairwise comparisons between 0 h and 1 or 2 h were conducted with Bonferroni adjustment. For SPARC at baseline, n = 81 for the MD group, n = 81 for the TJD group, and n = 73 for the CD group. For SPARC at 3 months, n = 72 for the MD group, n = 73 for the TJD group, and n = 65 for the CD group. For SPARC at 6 months, n = 66 for the MD group, n = 61 for the TJD group, and n = 57 for the CD group.
Article Snippet: At baseline and follow-ups, fasting plasma SPARC, 1-h and 2-h post-glucose loading plasma SPARC were assessed by using the ELISA kits (DY941-05, R&D Systems) [ ].
