INS and Hypercholesterolemia: Diagnosis of hypercholesterolemia (p = 0.90), or hyperglycemia (p = 0.30) did not differ between groups, nor were any significant differences found in laboratory values for fasting lipid panel (triglycerides p = 0.40; HDL p = 0.40; and LDL p = 0.10), blood insulin concentration (p = 0.90), hemoglobin-A1C (p = 0.40), and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (p = 0.60)—a surrogate for assessing β-cell function.
