INS and Insulin resistance: Metabolic parameters including fasting plasma glucose (0.087 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.152 to 0.326, p=0.472), fasting insulin (-0.085 μIU/mL; 95% CI: -0.383 to 0.212, p=0.572), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR: 0.005; 95% CI: -0.114 to 0.124, p=0.934), and triglycerides (0.012 mmol/L; 95% CI: -0.071 to 0.095, p=0.768) were comparable between groups (Tables 2, 3)​.
