The prediction error is expressed as the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP), in micro-international units per milliliter insulin.

Δ denotes log of the 2-h fold change of metabolite levels.

A bivariate model consisting of the 2-h changes in leucine/isoleucine and in glycerol.

Partial least squares based on changes in the 18 validated metabolites.
