Measurements of insulin resistance such as fasting glucose (5.5 ± 0.5 vs 4.3 ± 0.3 mmol/L, P = .0006), insulin (11.9 ± 3.3 vs 5.8 ± 2.2 mU/L, P = .0032), HOMA-IR (2.9 ± 0.8 vs 1.1 ± 0.4, P = .0009), and NEFAs (465 ± 191 vs 240 ± 83 μM, P = .0251) were substantially greater in the obese group (Figure 2H-K). Here, INS is linked to Insulin resistance.
