  1. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. FPG = fasting plasma glucose, FPI = fasting plasma insulin, FFA = free fatty acids.
  2. Q1 represents the most insulin sensitive quartile and Q4 represents the more insulin resistant quartile, FPG = fasting plasma glucose, FPI = fasting plasma insulin, FFA = free fatty acids, QUICKI = quantitative insulin sensitivity check index.
