Figure 3 Differential Effects of IV and SC Insulin Therapy on Changes Over 12 h

(A) Platelet sodium nitroprusside (SNP) response (p = 0.049), (B) superoxide generation (p < 0.001), and (C) asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels (p = 0.049). IV = intravenous; LDLC = lucigenin-derived chemiluminescence; SC = subcutaneous.
