Subject characteristics for groups generated according to each subject's insulin sensitivity index (SI), high vs. low tertile (n = 9/group). For the multiplexed analytes analyzed from blood plasma, sample sizes were n = 8/group, except for adiponectin analysis (high tertile SI, n = 7; low tertile SI, n = 8). Data are means ± SE.
