Figure 2. Effects of omentectomy alone on insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness.
Insulin sensitivity (Si) and glucose effectiveness (Sg) were determined by using the frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test and minimal model in obese subjects with type 2 diabetes (n=7) before and 3 months after laparoscopic omentectomy. Data for glucose effectiveness were log-transformed for analysis. Values are shown as means with 95% confidence intervals. There were no significant differences in Si (P=0.844) or Sg (P=0.663).
