INS and Insulin resistance: HTGC values significantly correlated with both markers of insulin resistance: (TyG R = 0.36, p = 0.0252, HOMA2-IR: R = 0.69, p < 0.0001), and their components (fasting glucose: R = 0.51, p = 0.0008, fasting insulin: R = 0.66, p < 0.0001, fasting TG: R = 0.32, p = 0.0445).
