Additionally, exposition to hypoxemia (= T90) was positively associated with Insulin resistance derived from IVGTT (r = 0.43, p = 0.012), HOMA-IR (r = 0.45, p = 0.008), fasting plasma insulin levels (r = 0.51, p = 0.002) and impaired insulin secretion after intravenous glucose administration (AUCinsulin, r = 0.38, p = 0.026). Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
