Mean change in Si in response to 3 months of troglitazone treatment and corresponding genotype frequencies in women grouped into tertiles of Si change
Change in Si* | Pro/Pro | Ala/− | Total† | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bottom tertile | −0.21 ± 0.57 | 21 (70) | 9 (30) | 30 |
Middle tertile | 0.91 ± 0.26 | 25 (78) | 7 (22) | 32 |
Top tertile | 2.58 ± 1.32 | 23 (74) | 8 (26) | 31 |
Total cohort | 1.11 ± 1.41 | 69 (74) | 24 (26) | 93 |
Data are n (%) of women with each genotype or means ± SD. Observed genotype frequencies did not differ significantly from expected frequencies (P = 0.77 by χ2 test).
(3-month Si) − (baseline Si); Si is insulin sensitivity calculated with the minimal model (in min−1 per μU/ml · 10−4);
the tertiles are of unequal size because the cutoff points are based on all troglitazone-treated subjects (12), including those whose genotyping failed for technical reasons.
