Table 2.
Fuel use among NGT and PD.
| NGT | PD | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy expenditure | |||
| REE (kcal/day) | 1243 ± 69.7 | 1231.6 ± 88 | 0.92 |
| REE (kcal/kg/day) | 11.4 ± 0.5 | 12.0 ± 0.8 | 0.58 |
| Fuel use | |||
| CHOox (mg/kg/min) | 0.94 ± 0.09 | 0.97 ± 0.13 | 0.79 |
| Fox (mg/kg/min) | 0.49 ± 0.04 | 0.55 ± 0.05 | 0.35 |
| RER (a.u.) | 0.83 ± 0.009 | 0.81 ± 0.01 | 0.29 |
Data are presented as mean ± SEM. NGT = normal glucose tolerant; PD = prediabetes; REE = resting energy expenditure; CHOox = carbohydrate oxidation; Fox = fat oxidation; RER = respiratory exchange ratio. Unpaired two-tailed t-test was utilized to determine group differences. Significance accepted at P ≤ 0.05.
