Correlation analysis in the whole study group between metabolic flexibility (steady-state RQ – fasting RQ) and glucose disposal rate (A) (type 2 diabetes: r = 0.52, P < 0.0001; obese without type 2 diabetes: r = 0.52, P = 0.0007) and steady-state plasma FFA concentration (B) (type 2 diabetes: r = −0.47, P = 0.0002; obese without type 2 diabetes: r = −0.40, P = 0.012). •, obese with type 2 diabetes (n = 59); ○, obese without type 2 diabetes (n = 42).
