  1. Values are presented as means ± SD. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Values are significantly different for P <0.05. aNumber of DGGE bands produced by each sample analyzed. bDice similarity coefficients comparing DGGE band profiles within individuals of the same group. cDice similarity coefficients comparing DGGE band profiles between members of the type 1 diabetes and the healthy groups.
