Determinants of intramyocellular lipids in multivariate stepwise regression analyses

Dependent variables	Determinants	β	se	Model r2	Model P
IMTG	Body fat (%)a	1.230	0.218	0.44	<0.0001
DAG	DAGH/TAGHb	−1.012	0.171	0.54	<0.0001
Ceramides	DAGH/TAGHc	−0.428	0.099	0.38	0.0002

^aIndependent variables included in the model were age, body fat, obesity, gender, and TAGH activity. 

^bIndependent variables included in the model were obesity, gender, ceramides, IMTG, and the ratio of DAGH to TAGH activity. 

^cIndependent variables included in the model were obesity, gender, DAG, IMTG, and the ratio of DAGH to TAGH activity.
