Figure 1

A  .  Serum amylase levels according to HOMA-R. HOMA-R was classified as normal (< 1.6), moderate (1.6–2.5), or high (> 2.5). The number of subjects in each group is shown under the bar. *Statistically significant difference between moderate and high HOMA-R (Bonferroni test, P = 0.014). Bars represent standard errors. B Serum amylase levels according to HOMA-R and obesity. Subjects were divided into three groups as in Figure 1A and then into lean (BMI<25 kg/m2) and obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) groups. The number of subjects in each group is shown under the bar. The difference between the lean and obese groups was of borderline significance (two-way ANOVA, P = 0.05). Bars represent standard errors. C HOMA-R according to HOMA-R and obesity. Subjects were divided as in Figure 1A and B. The number of subjects in each group is shown under the bar. HOMA-R was significantly different between lean and obese subjects in the high HOMA-R group (Mann–Whitney test, P = 0.001). Bars represent standard errors. D Leptin levels according to HOMA-R and obesity. Subjects were divided as in Figure 1A and B. The number of subjects in each group is shown under the bar. Bars represent standard errors.
