Correlation analysis of baseline CRP or total serum cholesterol concentrations with C-peptide outcome.

<p>Of individual patients, baseline CRP concentrations (<b>a</b>) or baseline total cholesterol levels (<b>b</b>) were compared to stimulated C-peptide concentrations at 18 months (18 m). The vertical line indicates the median of baseline CRP or cholesterol concentrations, respectively, the red line indicates the linear regression line obtained by the Pearson's correlation test.
