INS and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Tyrosine was a significant predictor of incident T2D (IRR = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.09–1.58, p < 0.05), as well as 2 year increases in HOMA-IR (beta 1SD tyrosine = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.04–0.22, p < 0.05) and insulin concentrations (beta 1SD tyrosine = 0.37 mcU/mL, 95% CI: 0.12–0.61, p < 0.05).
