Association of Selected Variables With DCI-IPG Bioactivity During the Early Period of the Low-Insulin Step (>0 to ≤45 min)

Characteristics	Spearman ρ	P valuea
Fasting insulin levels (before diazoxide administration)	–0.64	0.011
Group status	–	0.021
ISIOGTT (mmol−1 · L · pmol−1 · L)	+0.58	0.023
BMI	–0.56	0.025
AUCinsulin (μmol · min/L)	–0.56	0.031

 ^aAll tests were nonparametrical (for better comparison between them): Spearman correlation tests for continuous and Wilcoxon tests for dichotomous independent variables.

 Abbreviations: DCI-IPG, d-chiro-inositol-containing inositolphosphoglycan; ISI, insulin sensitivity index; OGTT, oral glucose tolerance test; BMI, body mass index; AUC, area under the curve.
