Baseline anthropometric and metabolic characteristics of lean healthy (LH) individuals and individuals with obesity (OB) are presented. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and were compared via unpaired students T-Test. Significance set at p < 0.05). Sample sizes for all outcomes except glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR are n = 18 for LH and n = 6 for OB. Sample sizes for glucose, insulin, and HOMA-IR are n = 15 for LH and n = 5 for OB.
