TG AUC 5 h, mmol/L	3.78±0.86	22.5±7.8	<0.001	5.29±2.99	23.9±11.4	<0.001
NEFA AUC 2 h, mmol/L	1.13 (0.86, 1.36)	3.2 (2.29, 4.0)	0.01	1.1 (0.81, 12.4)	3.30 (2.71, 4.80)	0.01
NEFA AUC 5 h, mmol/L	2.24 (1.83, 2.86)	12.0 (8.5, 13.5)	<0.001	2.26 (1.8, 2.55)	12.4 (9.25, 1.44)	<0.001

Triglycerides value is expressed as means±SDs and the rest are expressed as medians (IQR). P value ≤0.05 is significance of difference. AUC indicates area under the curve; NEFA, nonesterified fatty acids; PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome; TG, triglycerides.
