Fig. 4From: Oxidative DNA damage and oxidized low density lipoprotein in Type II diabetes mellitus among patients with Helicobacter pylori infectionCorrelation between HbA1c in non-diabetic and diabetic patients with positive H. pylori (expressed in  %) and a DNA damage 8-OHdG (expressed in pg/ml). b Oxidized LDL (expressed in U/dL). The levels of 8-OHdG or Ox-LDL (y axis) were correlated with those of HbA1c (x axis). An association was observed between HbA1c in diabetic patients with positive H. pylori and 8-OHdG (r = 0.39, p = 0.02). No association was observed between HbA1c in non-diabetic and diabetic patients with positive H. pylori and Ox-LDL. Based on the simple linear regression of cases with positive H. pylori in non-diabetic and diabetic patientsBack to article page
