The use of proteomics in identifying differentially expressed serum proteins in humans with type 2 diabetes

Table 1 Subject characterization and categorization

Subject	Gender	Age	BMI	Fasting glucose	G₁₂₀	WHO Category
		years	kg/m²	(mM)	(mM)
1	Female	57	20.6	4.5	5.9	NGT
2	Male	65	26.3	5.5	4.9	NGT
3	Male	57	21.9	5.9	3.4	NGT
4	Male	54	30.7	7.3	7.8	T2DM
5	Male	56	26.6	8.8	10.9	T2DM
6	Female	54	23.1	14.1	21.9	T2DM

Subjects were ranked based on fasting plasma glucose concentration. The plasma glucose concentrations at 0 min (fasting) and 120 min (G₁₂₀) after an oral glucose tolerance test were used to categorize the subjects to have normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Gender, age and body mass index (BMI) are also listed.
