Univariate and Stepwise Adjusted Analysis for Log Insulin AUC During Oral Glucose Tolerance Testing and Atenolol-Induced Change in Glucose
Dependent Variable | Covariate Entered | Estimate | Standard Error | p Value |
---|---|---|---|---|
OGTT log insulin AUC | ||||
Unadjusted | Atenolol AUCn | −1.03 | 0.32 | 0.008a |
Adjusted for BMIb | Atenolol AUCn | −0.32 | 0.35 | 0.38 |
Fasting glucose change | ||||
Unadjusted | Atenolol AUCn | 7.97 | 3.8 | 0.06a |
Adjusted for sexb | Atenolol AUCn | 12.14 | 3.1 | 0.0025 |
OGTT = oral glucose tolerance test; AUC = area under the concentration-time curve; AUCn = weight-normalized area under the concentration-time curve within one dosing interval.
Only 14 of the 15 patients who had complete data in all fields were included in the analysis.
No other covariates entered the model as significant after adjustment for BMI.
