Table 1

Pathways correlated with a type 2 diabetic phenotype. The table shows p-values for the three pathways most correlated with blood glucose concentration as measured two hours after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). r is the Pearson correlation. Also shown are p-values, generally indicating low significance levels, for these pathways determined from t-statistic comparisons between DM2 (type 2 diabetic) and NGT (normal glucose tolerance).
