Pearson correlation coefficients (P values in parenthesis) are shown between metabolic variables expressed in µmol/min. BMI: body mass index; CHOox: net carbohydrate oxidation rate; FATox: net fatty acid oxidation rate; LBM: lean body mass; NEFA: nonesterified fatty acids; nonOxpalmitate: palmitate non oxidative metabolic rate; Oxpalmitate: palmitate oxidation rate; Raglycerol: glycerol appearance rate; RaNEFA: nonesterified fatty acid appearance rate; Rapalmitate: palmitate appearance rate; REE: resting energy expenditure; SI: insulin sensitivity index.
