The authors and journal apologise for errors in the above paper, which appeared in volume 224 part 3, pages 303–313. The errors relate to the values given for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides (TG) in Table 1 on page 304.

NGT, normal-glucose tolerant; T2D, type 2 diabetes; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; FBG, fasting blood glucose; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; TG, triglycerides; HOMA, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance. *P<0.01; †P<0.05.
The original Table 1 on page 304 stated that the mean (±s.e.m) value for HDL in normal-glucose tolerant (NGT) human volunteers was 1.45±0.33 mmol/l, that the value for TG in NGT human volunteers was 51.4±12.8 mmol/l, and 92.5±16.9 mmol/l in type 2 diabetic (T2D) human volunteers.
The correct Table 1 should have stated that the mean (±s.e.m) value for HDL in NGT human volunteers was 1.58±0.14 mmol/l, that the value for TG in NGT human volunteers was 1.45±0.33 mmol/l, and 1.24±0.11 mmol/l in T2D human volunteers. The correct Table 1 is published in full below:
