Figure 5: Venn diagram illustrating protein expression in obese and diabetic patients. The immunodepleted fractions from all of the groups were run on MS after trypsin digestion. The MS data fi les were extracted and run for bioinformatics on ProteinCenter. The number of differentially expressed proteins in obese patients (5 proteins), diabetic patients (7 proteins), patients with both obesity and diabetes (7 proteins), and common in all groups (27 proteins). Data is the sum of three independently performed experiments.
