Data are median (range). ACR is calculated as milligrams of albumin/grams of creatinine.

*

Adjusted for baseline: age, sex, race, BMI, waist circumference, fasting insulin, insulin sensitivity/secretion, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum creatinine, and ACE inhibitor and calcium channel blocker use. Also adjusted are time-dependent changes in weight and physical activity.
