Association between metabolic disease risk factors and total hydroxylated GM3.

<p>Correlation of total hydroxylated GM3 molecular species with fasting blood glucose (A), insulin (B), HOMA-IR (C), HbA1c (D), total cholesterol (E), LDL-c (F), autotaxin (G) and mean IMT (H). Spearman’s rank correlation was used to access correlation between total hydroxylated GM3 molecular species and metabolic disease risk factors. All correlations were deemed significant with <i>P</i> values below 0.05.
