  1. The DNR, MNPDR and HRPDR groups are combined together and termed as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) group. Pearson or Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) was used and a value of p < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
  2. TCH, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; TL, total lipid; FFA, free fatty acid; HNE, 4-Hydroxynonenal; MDA, malondialdehyde; HLY, hexanoyl-lysine; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor
