Biochemical measurements included measurements of glycaemia (FBG, GTT, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, insulin-glucose ratio, insulin sensitivity index, ITT, MCR and adiposity insulin resistance index), lipid profile (total fat, white adipose tissue, TC, TAG, LDL and HDL and NEFA), blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and inflammatory markers (leptin, IL-1β, IL-10, MMP, NF-κB; Tables 3 and 4). Here, LEP is linked to Insulin resistance.
