AUC calculated above baseline (0800–0900 h) for the 23 h after the three morning baseline samples (glucose, lactate, insulin, TG, uric acid) or including baseline (free fatty acids and ghrelin). Leptin was calculated as the 24-h AUC above morning trough concentrations. Mean ± sem (insulin sensitive: HOMA < 2.5, n = 10; insulin resistant: HOMA > 2.5, n = 7). PR, P value for effect of resistance; PT×R, P value for treatment × insulin resistance interaction.
