Figure 2. TAG pattern of diabetes risk in FHS.

(A) The geometric mean ratio of TAG levels in cases versus that in controls in fasting pre-OGTT plasma. Each circle represents a distinct TAG, organized along the x axis based on total acyl chain carbon number (left) or double bond content (right). The size of each circle is proportional to the SD of the case/control ratios for each TAG; therefore, smaller circles indicate greater precision, whereas larger circles indicate lesser precision. Note, the 2 panels display the same data, simply arranged along the x axis by a different variable. (B) The geometric mean ratio of TAG levels in the subset of cases and controls in the bottom quartile of HOMA-IR (mean HOMA-IR, 1.03 for cases and 1.01 for controls; P = 0.36), organized along the x axis based on total acyl chain carbon number (left) or double bond content (right).
