Figure 2: Free fatty acid (FFA) levels in plasma measured immediately before and during the 8 hours following LPS administration (0.3ng/kg) in 12 patients with T2DM (filled squares) and 12 controls (open circles). Data are presented as μmol/L and 95% confidence interval. A two-way ANOVA was used to assess the main effect of time, group and their interaction (Time*Group). A significant main effect of time was found and a post-hoc t test was applied whereby * indicates p<0.05 in controls and ¤ indicates P<0.05 in patients with T2DM versus time point 0 hr.
