Figure 4. Relationship between lipoprotein lipolysis ISI and tissue specific insulin responsiveness indices.

(A) Pre- and postsurgery lipoprotein lipolysis ISI. (B) Postsurgery insulin-mediated peripheral lipolysis suppression per insulin increased over basal level (Δ[%]insulin) from the clamp studies vs lipoprotein lipolysis ISI. (C) Postsurgery insulin-mediated EGP suppression per Δ(%)insulin versus lipoprotein lipolysis ISI. (D) Postsurgery insulin-mediated R_d stimulation per Δ(%)insulin versus lipolysis ISI. In each panel, the regression lines for the postsurgery data are shown in blue. Correlation coefficients (r) and associated P values are reported in each panel.
