Figure 1 Effects of oral glucose loading on the flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. There was a significant difference in FMD among the three groups (p < 0.01, by ANOVA). DM: diabetes mellitus; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; NGT: normal glucose tolerance. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. *p < 0.01, versus fasting; **p < 0.005, versus fasting; {dagger}p < 0.01, versus 1 h.

Figure 2 Comparison of the flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery in the fasting state, 1 and 2 h after oral glucose loading among the three groups. DM: diabetes mellitus; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; NGT: normal glucose tolerance. Data are expressed as mean ± SE.

Figure 3 Effects of oral glucose loading on plasma TBARS levels. There was a significant difference in the plasma TBARS levels among the three groups (p < 0.01 by ANOVA). DM: diabetes mellitus; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; NGT: normal glucose tolerance; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Data are expressed as mean ± SE. *p < 0.05, versus fasting; **p < 0.01, versus fasting; {dagger}p < 0.05, versus 1 h.

Figure 4 Comparison of plasma TBARS levels in the fasting state, 1 and 2 h after oral glucose loading among the three groups. DM: diabetes mellitus; IGT: impaired glucose tolerance; NGT: normal glucose tolerance; TBARS: thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. Data are expressed as mean ± SE.
