Equations compare the cellular uptake of glucose obtained by the glucose clamp (Mbw,; μmol min-1 kg-1) and indices of glucose kinetics and plasma insulin obtained during an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) in 20 non-obese volunteers.

T1/2 = half-life of exogenous glucose (units: min)

Glucoseo, Inso = plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin at baseline (units: mmol L-1 and pmol L-1)

AUCins = area under the curve for plasma insulin over time (unit: pmol min L-1)

MINMOD = "minimal model analysis" according to Bergman et al. [6]
