Heterogeneously elevated branched-chain/aromatic amino acids among new-onset type-2 diabetes mellitus patients are potentially skewed diabetes predictors

Figure 1 One-way and two-way ANOVA of the effects of body mass index and sex on serum amino acid concentrations in male and female new-onset type-2 diabetes patients in differing body mass index categories. A: Valine; B: Isoleucine; C: Leucine; D: Tyrosine; E: Tryptophan; F: Phenylalanine; G: Histidine; H: Arginine; I: Taurine; J: Threonine; K: Proline; L: Methionine; M: Alanine; N: Glutamate; O: Hydroxyproline; P: Asparagine; Q: Glutamine; R: Lysine; S: Citrulline; T: Homocysteine; U: Serine. N: Normal weight; P: Overweight; O: Obese group. ^aP < 0.05 vs normal weight; ^bP < 0.01 vs normal weight; ^cP < 0.05 vs overweight; NS: Not significantly different (P > 0.05); B: Body mass index; S: Sex/sex; Int: BMI × sex interaction.
