Parameter estimates for stepwise forward multivariate regression analysis.

Dependent variable: VLDL-TG fatty acid storage rate

Dependent variable	Variable	Parameter estimate	Standard error	P value
Abdominal VLDL-TG FA storage rate
mg/kg lipid/hour	Intercept	0.708	0.139	<0.001
mg/kg lipid/hour	Insulin	0.008	0.003	0.004
Femoral VLDL-TG FA storage rate
mg/kg lipid/hour	Intercept	0.742	0.121	<0.001
mg/kg lipid/hour	Insulin	0.009	0.002	0.001

The parameter estimates are presented for the formulas describing the final model between VLDL-TG fatty acids adipose tissue storage rate (per kg lipid per hour (log transformed)) and the following independent candidates: Fat cell size, LPL-activity, upper body subcutaneous fat mass or femoral fat mass, FFM or REE, insulin, and group index (see text for further details).
