| PE 36:5 (16:0/20:5) | Insulin | −0.920 | 1.16 × 10−6 | 3.98 × 10−3 |
| PE 36:5 (16:0/20:5) | HOMA-IR | −0.910 | 2.43 × 10−6 | 6.26 × 10−3 |
| PE 36:5 (16:0/20:5) | QUICKI | 0.906 | 3.13 × 10−6 | 6.43 × 10−3 |
a
Pearson’s correlation coefficients (ρ) measure the linear relationships between lipid changes and clinical parameters.
b
p-values were calculated using Pearson’s correlation test.
c
Adjusted p-values were calculated using the false discovery rate (FDR) correction.
