Combined results for all subjects (i.e., for both lean IS and obese, IR subjects) revealed that the HP meal induced a higher expression of p105 (P for meal effect = 0.010) and a lower expression of IL-6 (P for meal effect = 0.007) compared to the HF or HC meal, while HF meal induced the highest expression of TGF-β (P for meal effect = 0.039). Here, TGFB1 is linked to hydrops fetalis.
